Is it illegal for brother-in-law to beat brother-in-law?

It is illegal for brother-in-law to beat brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law who slightly beats his brother-in-law shall be fined for public security detention in accordance with the regulations, and those who are slightly injured or more shall be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the Criminal Law. Beating his brother-in-law intentionally or intentionally hurting his body can only constitute a crime if the other party is identified as slightly injured or above. Although it may not constitute a crime, it will violate the law and be punished accordingly. Minor injuries do not constitute a criminal case, and there is no criminal responsibility, only administrative responsibility (public security punishment) and civil liability for compensation. General minor injuries can be mediated by the public security, and no punishment will be given after reaching a mediation agreement; If mediation fails, a fine or administrative detention may be imposed 15 days or less. Intentional injury causes brother-in-law to be slightly injured, which is close to minor injury and has little social impact. If the victim is at fault or the defendant fully compensates the victim for economic losses, it is criminal detention or public surveillance. So brother-in-law can't beat brother-in-law.

The types of public security management punishment are divided into:

1, warning;

2. Fine;

3. Administrative detention;

4. Revoke the license issued by the public security organ.

To sum up, brother-in-law beating brother-in-law can be regarded as a family dispute. Whether it is a family dispute or not should be considered according to the reasons and motives of the conflict between the two parties. But even a fight caused by a family dispute is a violation of public security management. If the circumstances are minor, the public security organ may mediate. If mediation fails or one party fails to perform the mediation agreement, public security punishment is required.

Legal basis:

Article 9 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Public Security Administration Punishment Law

If the circumstances are minor, such as fighting, damaging other people's property and other acts in violation of public security management caused by civil disputes, the public security organ may mediate. If the parties reach an agreement through mediation by the public security organ, they will not be punished. If the mediation fails to reach an agreement or fails to perform after reaching an agreement, the public security organ shall punish the violator of public security administration in accordance with the provisions of this law, and inform the parties that they can bring a civil lawsuit to the people's court according to law.
