论巫蛊信仰对西南民族地区女性的影响及其司法干预——基于人身伤害案例（1950-2002年）的分析

Research on the Influence of Witchcraft Belief on Women in Southwest Ethnic Areas and Its Judicial Intervention——Analysis Based on Personal Injury Cases(1950-2002)

西南少数民族普遍存在着巫蛊信仰。由于“蛊”具有传女不传男的特征,所以被诬为放蛊的女子受到各种歧视、驱赶甚至杀害等人身伤害。新中国成立后,虽然很多地方都出台了“不准诬陷农民放蛊”等自治条例,但由于巫蛊信仰的神秘性和民族习惯的特殊性,很难用国家法消除其负面影响。在国家法的震慑作用下,巫蛊观念的危害被限定在隐形的状态。随着经济、文化和社会的发展进步以及司法干预的加强,巫蛊观念对人们的影响和对女性的伤害会越来越小。

Witchcraft belief is widespread among minority nationalities in southwest China. Because“ maggots” have the characteristics of transmitting only which is to female, but not male, women who are falsely accused of releasing maggots are subjected to various personal injuries, such as discrimination, expulsion and killing. After the foundation of People’s Republic of China, although many autonomous regulations such as“don’t frame farmers for mischief”have been promulgated in many places, it is difficult to eliminate its negative effects by state law, due to the mystery of witch maggot belief and the particularity of national habits. Under the deterrence of national law, the harm of witch maggot concept is confined to the invisible state. With the development and progress of economy, culture and society, the influence of witch maggot concept and the harm to women will be less and less.
