In ancient China, a man could have three wives and four concubines. There is a saying: I have seen a pot with several tea cups, but I have never seen a tea cup with several pots! However, in the 21st century, three wives and four concubines have been replaced by monogamy, but there are still many countries that practice three wives and four concubines, and Egypt is one of them. Then, if an Egyptian marries multiple wives People who came to China with their wives will be arrested for bigamy?
The answer is no, Egyptian citizens have married multiple wives in Egypt to travel to China.
does not constitute the crime of bigamy. According to the territorial jurisdiction principle of my country's Criminal Law, the place of the crime is not in my country, and my country's Criminal Law does not have jurisdiction. And the crime of bigamy aims to protect the socialist monogamous marriage system in our country. Since there is no need to follow the monogamous system, it naturally does not violate the marriage system.
So if a Chinese citizen has married multiple wives in Egypt and returned to China for travel, but they are not married in China.
actually does not constitute a crime, because according to the personal jurisdiction principle of China's criminal law, Chinese citizens are under the jurisdiction of China's criminal law wherever they commit a crime, but the act did not violate the criminal law of Egypt, nor did it harm China's national interests and citizens. interest.
