recently, a video circulated online has sparked heated discussions: several men pushed the bride onto a telephone pole, and someone used tape to tie the bride to the pole. during this time, the bride screamed several times and tried to scratch, but no one paid attention. in the end, the bride was tied to the pole with her legs bent.

afterwards, all parties responded. the person who posted the video said, "we told the bride in advance and obtained the consent of the bride and groom," and the process lasted for a short time and the bride was not injured. he also said that he did not think their behavior was a wedding prank, "it was just a few childhood friends having fun together, having fun, and having fun. i hope everyone will not make assumptions."

but later, some media released a notice saying that the incident was a pre-designed game session, and the parties apologized for the negative impact caused. the streets and communities will strengthen the promotion of civilized wedding customs and cultivate a positive wedding culture and social atmosphere.

judging from the overall response, the act of tying the bride was most likely announced in advance, and the bride and groom should have known about it. i believe that the parties involved did not have much malice, and their original intention was probably just to take the opportunity to have a carnival and "have fun." but what is more worthy of reflection is why an action that the parties seemed to "agree" to caused an uproar on the internet and was quickly identified as a vulgar wedding prank?

this is probably because wedding pranks are, after all, just a way of thinking and behaving in a specific situation, a habit that people are not aware of. once they are taken out of that space and put into the public opinion field that better represents public rationality, a certain sense of discomfort is revealed - even if the parties agree, the intentional or unintentional humiliation of personality and physical harm to others will make people feel uncomfortable.

in fact, vulgar wedding pranks have received considerable attention in recent years. tying up, hugging, whipping, parading, etc. are all common scenes of vulgar wedding pranks. many behaviors are not just eye-catching, but constitute a kind of harm or even obscenity, turning a happy event into a bad thing or a bad thing. in 2017, an incident of "suspected bridesmaid being molested" occurred in xi'an. after the video was exposed on the internet, the two men suspected of molesting were arrested by the local police.

it is not just women who are vulnerable to vulgar wedding pranks, but men are just as vulnerable. in 2018, the bozhou district court of zunyi city, guizhou province, also mediated a wedding prank case in which a groom was tied up by three friends on the day of the wedding prank. as a result, he fell and suffered a grade 10 disability. the three so-called "good brothers" compensated the groom a total of more than 90,000 yuan.

it can be seen that vulgar wedding pranks are difficult to be tolerated by modern society, whether from the perspective of civilization or the rule of law. vulgar wedding pranks cannot be covered up with excuses such as knowledge or habit. under a collective unconsciousness, they may produce chaos that goes against the civilized landscape and may also cause mental and physical harm to the parties involved.

the attitude of relevant departments towards vulgar wedding pranks is also clear. in 2020, the ministry of civil affairs issued the "guiding opinions on carrying out pilot work on marriage customs reform", which emphasized the need to rectify unhealthy practices such as sky-high betrothal gifts, extravagance and waste, vulgar wedding pranks, and gift-giving competition. since 2021, many places have been listed as experimental areas for marriage customs reform by the ministry of civil affairs, and vulgar wedding pranks are one of the key phenomena to be corrected.

this recent wedding prank incident also reminds people again that even if the parties agree or condone it, vulgar wedding pranks are still vulgar. in this regard, the whole society should express a clear attitude to guide the change of customs and adapt to the values ​​of contemporary civilization.
