What should I do if I get caught by the police during a ward check when I rent a hotel room with my lover?

Although it is not illegal to have a room with your lover, it is morally condemnable. The law does not protect this behavior, and the police will not intervene. However, if you are suspected of prostitution, you will be punished by public security. It is against the provisions of the Marriage Law to have a room with your lover if either of the parties is married.

Article 66 of the "Public Security Management Punishment Law": Those who engage in prostitution or whoring shall be detained for not less than ten days but not more than fifteen days, and may also be fined not more than five thousand yuan; if the circumstances are relatively minor, they shall be fined not more than five thousand yuan. Detention of not more than 50 days or fine of not more than 500 yuan.

Anyone soliciting prostitution in a public place shall be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than 500 yuan.

Article 46 of the "Marriage Law" If one of the following circumstances leads to divorce, the party without fault has the right to request damages:

(1) Bigamy;

(2) A spouse living with others;

(3) Carrying out domestic violence;

(4) Abusing or abandoning family members.
