According to major foreign media reports on the 27th, Zhou Wu (35), a married woman living in Jiangsu Province, China, was caught conducting fraudulent marriages with three men and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

During the investigation, Zhou stated that she took advantage of her businessman husband’s frequent absences from home to seduce three men with the surnames Luo, Zhang, and Xu, even promising marriage to them.

At the time, Zhou was also raising a daughter she had with her original husband.

Subsequently, Zhou held wedding ceremonies with the three men respectively. The roles of Zhou’s parents, relatives, and friends who attended the weddings were played by actors she hired with money. Each time her number of husbands increased by one, including her original husband, she used the excuse of having a "workshop at her job" to be away from home for several days, repeatedly holding weddings.

Zhou earned a total of 660,000 yuan (approximately 120 million won) through the three fraudulent marriages. She even tried to extort additional money from one of her husbands, Mr. Zhang, by promising to bear children of different genders for him.

Later, Zhou left home claiming she would go to her parental home to give birth and sent fake photos of a newborn baby.

Zhou’s fraudulent activities were exposed when Mr. Zhang and his mother visited the obstetrics and gynecology hospital. At that time, she hired an actor to play the role of a doctor, but her poor acting raised suspicion. Mr. Zhang conducted a background check on Zhou, uncovered her true identity, and reported her to the police.

After all her crimes were revealed, Zhou was sentenced to 10 years in prison and was abandoned by her original husband as well.

Meanwhile, bigamy and adultery are prohibited by law in China. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has established an online marriage information network that allows partners or spouses to check each other’s marital status.

The Ministry believes that by making marriage information public, illegal acts such as bigamy and fraudulent marriages can be eradicated, and cases of divorce due to mistaken marriages can be prevented. In China, marriage registration must be done at the original household registration location (hukou).

Because of this, people who live in cities after leaving rural areas must visit the hukou location to inquire about their partner’s marital status. Also, since personal information is not computerized, it is not easy to verify a prospective spouse’s marital status.
