A young man in Henan Province was defrauded of 180,000 yuan in gift money and spread banners all over the village looking for people. Is this behavior illegal?

Although this kind of behavior is not illegal, it does not solve the problem. The court has already intervened in the matter, and I believe it will be resolved soon. A young man in Henan was defrauded of 180,000 in betrothal gifts

In September 2022, a video of a young man in Henan driving a car and hanging a banner, looking for his ex-fiancée and asking for a betrothal gift attracted the attention of netizens. The young man’s name was Xiao Wei. Before Xiao Wei hung the banner, the local court had ordered his ex-fiancée’s family to return the 120,000 yuan in gift money, but no one from the girl’s family came forward to repay it. In desperation, Xiaowei took a loudspeaker to the village where his ex-fiancée lived and shouted. The judge has stopped this impetuous behavior. The judge of the Enforcement Bureau has communicated with the woman. After the National Day, the two parties will meet. The judge will urge the woman Gao Hua (pseudonym) and her mother Wu to implement the court's decision. A good relationship turns into a bad relationship

Xiao Wei and Gao Hua are both from Shangqiu, Henan. They were introduced to each other by a matchmaker in February 2021. Since Xiaowei was already a 25-year-old rural man at that time, his parents were very anxious to solve the problem of his marriage. The two parties confirmed their marriage within less than a month of knowing each other. Xiaowei and Gao Hua got engaged in March 21. After the two got engaged, Xiaowei's family gave Gao Hua a box gift, meeting gift, gift, and betrothal gift of RMB 179,000. Because Xiaowei was working out of town, the two contacted each other through the Internet after getting engaged. But soon Xiaowei felt that Gao Hua's attitude was inconsistent, and sometimes he would suddenly block Xiaowei. In the end, the conversation between the two collapsed, and Gao Hua expressed that he wanted Xiaowei to come to her house to take away the bride price. In mid-April, when Xiaowei came to Gao Hua's house and prepared to collect the gift money, Gao Hua's mother said that she hoped the two would get along for a while longer. Afterwards, Gao Hua revealed to Xiao Wei that the bride price had bought a car for his brother.

Xiaowei, who failed to ask for the bride price, took Gao Hua and his mother to court. In July 2022, the court ruled that Gao Hua and his mother needed to return Xiaowei's gift money of 120,000 yuan. However, after the judgment was issued, no one came forward to refund the money. Most of Xiaowei's gift money was borrowed from relatives and friends. If he couldn't get it back, it would have a great impact on him, so he made impulsive actions out of desperation.
