Strange bed-burning ceremony for ex-husband's soul

A woman man of ₹11 lakh by performing a strange bed-burning ceremony: A man in China was duped by his fiancée who told him he needed to pay for her to burn the “marriage bed” of her and her ex-husband so they could get married, the South China Morning Post reported.

Wang met Li on an online dating platform where she presented herself as a wealthy single woman who owns multiple properties and a jewellery store. They met in person and started dating.

She even gave him gifts and showed him pictures of her properties to convince him of her wealth. Everything was good and the couple decided to get married but before they could get married Li asked Wang to perform a “marriage bed burning” ritual for her ex-partner. Her ex-husband she claimed had died of illness a few years ago.

Li said all her properties were inherited from her ex-husband and this ritual was to thank him so his spirit could bless their union. She told Wang he needed to give her 100,000 yuan (₹11.8 lakh) so she was assured of his support for the ritual.

She asked him to transfer the money online but stay away while the ritual was being performed so that it doesn’t bring bad luck to him. Soon Wang was sent video and photos of the ritual being performed but after some time Li blocked him from social media apps and disappeared.

When he found out he was scammed Wang called the police. Apparently Li had used the same trick to scam 30,000 yuan (₹3.5 lakh) from another man and all her properties were fake.

Li was arrested and sentenced to 42 months in jail for fraud. In 2023 Chinese police busted a group in northwestern China which conned almost ₹1.7 crore from five men who were eager to get married. They hired women to marry the men for a price but ran away after the wedding.
