Title: A 600 Yuan Sale of Wife Results in Five Years Imprisonment
By Niulingyun
According to reports (Niulingyun), disliking his wife due to her mental condition, a man sold his wife, thereby violating criminal law. After being prosecuted by the Tanghe County People's Procuratorate in Henan Province, on June 25th, the county court sentenced Tian Youlai for the crime of trafficking women to five years in prison and fined him 2000 yuan.
In earlier years, due to poor family circumstances, Tian Youlai married a mentally impaired woman. After marriage, as his wife was unable to live or work independently, coupled with gossip from neighbors, Tian Youlai gradually developed resentment towards his wife and conceived the idea of selling her. In the summer of 2007, Tian Youlai approached Chen and asked him to find a buyer. Subsequently, Chen contacted Zhang and Zhang某某 (all three handled separately) and explained the situation. Through their introductions, Tian Youlai sold his mentally impaired wife to Wang for cohabitation at a price of 600 yuan, with the illicit proceeds of 600 yuan shared between Tian Youlai and Chen.
