Many ways to fight jealousy

Due to jealousy, the daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law in Dien Ban town, Quang Nam province poured gasoline and set a woman on fire, causing a stir in public opinion. Specifically, Nguyen Thi Diem Phuong (23 years old) and her mother-in-law Dang Thi Thong Nhat (44 years old) thought that Ms. Dam Thi My D. (28 years old) had an affair with her husband, so they searched for D. to beat her up. On the morning of January 26, 2023, when they discovered the victim coming with her husband from a karaoke bar in Duy Xuyen district, Phuong and Ms. Nhat approached and poured gasoline and lit a fire, causing the victim to burn. Many people rushed to put out the fire and took Ms. D. to the emergency room. Ms. D. suffered severe burns to her head, face, neck, back, arms, and left buttocks. Phuong also suffered burns to her left hand. During the process of putting out the fire and rescuing Ms. D., Phuong's husband also suffered burns on both hands... On February 9, the Investigation Police Agency of Quang Nam Province Police prosecuted and temporarily detained Phuong and her mother-in-law to investigate the murder.

In Dak Lak province, a murder case due to jealousy has just occurred. On February 23, the Office of the Investigation Police Agency of Dak Lak Province Police said that the unit is temporarily detaining Phan Trong Hung (27 years old, in Cu M'gar district) to investigate the murder. According to initial information, recently, Hung discovered and suspected that his wife, Ms. TTH, had a relationship with Mr. HVM, so he talked to and reminded both of them many times. On the evening of February 21, when Hung discovered that his wife and Mr. M. were at a gas station in the area, he went into the house, took a knife, put it in his pocket, and then went to the gas station to talk. There, Hung and Mr. M. had a loud argument. When Hung held Mr. M.'s collar, he was punched many times in the face. Angry, Hung used a knife to stab Mr. M. repeatedly. After committing the crime, Hung left the knife at the gas station and left the scene. Mr. M. was taken to the hospital by local people for emergency treatment but died. After hearing the news of Mr. M.'s death, Hung went to the police station to surrender... The case is still under investigation.

In Thanh Hoa , the jealousy beating incident that occurred at the end of October 2022 in Nong Cong town, Nong Cong district also attracted attention when the jealousy beating clip was posted on social networks. The short clip recorded a scene of a woman sitting, climbing on the front of a car and breaking the front windshield of the car. After that, this person continued to open the car door, grab the hair and beat a girl sitting in the car. As a result, the girl sitting in the car had part of her left ear bitten off... Immediately after the incident, the police agency began investigating to clarify. In early November 2022, the Investigation Police Agency of Nong Cong District Police issued a decision to prosecute the case and prosecute Ngo Ngoc H. (30 years old, in Nhu Thanh district) for the crime of intentionally causing injury in the above incident. Confessing to the investigation agency, H. said that she and her husband were having emotional conflicts. On October 22, while going to the supermarket, H. saw her husband driving a car with a girl sitting in the passenger seat on Highway 45, passing through Nong Cong town.

Jealousy cases come in many forms and ways men and women deal with their girlfriends, boyfriends, wives, and husbands when they suspect or discover that they have been betrayed. There are situations that make you laugh, but there are also many cases that become criminal cases. Jealousy cases that require criminal prosecution like the above continue to be a warning against the thoughtless actions of adults who, out of jealousy, “lose their minds in anger.”

Act according to the law

According to the report on crime prevention and law violation in 2022, the crime situation is still complicated, some types of crimes that cause public outrage continue to increase. The most prominent is the increase in murder crimes by 13.17%, mainly due to personal conflicts and resentment. Among them, there are cases arising from jealousy conflicts.

Jealousy is a common occurrence when a marriage is unhappy and a third person intervenes. Violent "attacks" of jealousy help the jealous person to somewhat satisfy his anger, however, after each jealousy attack, the marriage will inevitably break down. The jealous person himself will suffer double damage when he is right but becomes wrong. Many people because of jealousy fall into legal trouble, become criminals and suffer severe punishments under the law.

From a legal perspective, lawyer Vu Van Tra, Director of Son Tra Law Firm, affirmed: For conflicts in marriage, the law only allows dialogue and reconciliation to resolve between the parties. Fighting and humiliating others because of jealousy is strictly prohibited by law. In any situation, each person needs to be calm, tactful in dealing with disagreements and conflicts in marriage and emotional relationships and act according to the law. Jealousy is absolutely not recommended because temporary anger can have serious consequences for both the jealous person and the victim.

Lawyer Vu Van Tra said: For acts of jealousy that have not yet reached the level of criminal prosecution, the jealous person may be administratively responsible for the actions he/she has committed. Specifically, for acts of humiliation of others that have not yet reached the level of criminal prosecution, he/she will be subject to administrative sanctions, warnings or fines from 2 million to 3 million VND (stipulated in Clause 3, Article 7 of Decree 144/2021/ND-CP dated December 31, 2021, stipulating sanctions for administrative violations in the fields of security, order and social safety; prevention and control of social evils; fire prevention and control; rescue; prevention and control of domestic violence). For the act of gathering many people in public places, causing disorder, the violator may be prosecuted for disturbing public order, and be administratively fined from 3 million to 5 million VND (stipulated in Clause 4, Article 7 of Decree 144/2021/ND-CP). For the act of violating the body or health of another person, the person who directly performs or hires another person to perform the act of jealousy, which infringes upon the body or health of another person, may be fined from 5 million to 8 million VND (stipulated in Clause 5, Article 7 of Decree 144/2021/ND-CP).

In case the act of jealousy is serious in nature and level, with all the elements constituting a crime, the person may be subject to criminal liability as prescribed in the Penal Code 2015, amended and supplemented in 2017. Depending on the nature, level, behavior, the crimes that the jealous person may face are: "Crime of intentionally causing injury or harm to the health of others", "Crime of humiliating others", even if the act is of a particularly serious level, directly infringing on the life of others, it can be prosecuted for the crime of "Murder" with the highest penalty being life imprisonment or death penalty.
