Ms. Lyu told the reporter that her daughter became addicted to an online game called "online cohabitation" when she was in her first year of high school. Every time she played this game, she would close the door of her house.
This mother was extremely worried. After all, her daughter was only 17 years old. Would this kind of cohabitation in the spiritual world bring some harm to her growing daughter?
Girl: I want to get married to my boyfriend online.
The reporter then went to Ms. Lyu's home and saw Xiao Zhu sitting in front of the computer surfing the Internet. The reporter asked Xiao Zhu what "online cohabitation" was all about? Xiao Zhu said straightforwardly, "Online cohabitation" is a kind of online love game where players can settle down and "make friends" with opposite-sex online friends. Xiao Zhu skillfully opened a website called "Love Apartment", entered his account, and a virtual online room appeared on the screen. In the room, a girl and a boy were sitting affectionately on the sofa, with a little dog squatting aside. The house is fully equipped with everything from a TV to a bed, just like an online home. Xiao Zhu also told the reporter that she and her boyfriend now confide in each other online at regular intervals every day. In a few days, she and her boyfriend will go to get their "marriage certificate", and then invite their friends to their online "wedding".
Survey: Tens of thousands of people register for online cohabitation
To figure out what the so-called "marriage certificate" and "wedding" are all about, the reporter went online alone and linked to this website. The reporter saw that there were already over ten thousand registered netizens here. The website enables new male and female netizens to get to know each other quickly and then form "families". After male and female netizens form their own online families, they can adopt a "child" to raise. The so-called "marriage certificate" and "child" are both pictures and a set of electronic data. The "wedding" of the "newlyweds" was held in the "church" on the BBS. Newcomers post a message, and netizens on the website reply to offer their blessings.
Lawyer: Not protected by the marriage law
Lawyer He from Gansu Jingtiandi Law Firm believes that marriages registered through such a "marriage certificate" still do not meet the requirements of the Marriage Law and are not protected by it.
Mr. Zhou from the School of Life Sciences at Northwest Normal University believes that the emergence of online cohabitation reflects that the real cultural life of some people is rather empty. Sichuan Faneng Law Firm is dedicated to serving you.
