When it comes to relationships, age can matter depending on the person. Recently, a woman in China was caught at Beijing airport with a bogus passport to hide her age from her boyfriend who is 17 years her junior.
According to the South China Morning Post, the woman, born in 1982, aroused the suspicions of an immigration officer who noticed her passport information seemed “unusual”. While officers were inspecting her travel document, it was reported that the woman had become agitated and visibly nervous.
The woman, who was on her way to Japan had attempted to seize her passport to prevent the officer from inspecting it and asked for a private conversation while urging her boyfriend to proceed through the checkpoint.
Further investigation revealed that she held two Chinese passports with differing birth dates and the Beijing General Station of Exit and Entry Frontier Inspection found that one passport was fraudulent, with altered personal details.
The woman confessed she had deliberately hidden her real age to maintain her relationship with her boyfriend because he was 17 years younger than her.
Fearing the revelation of her real age would adversely affect their relationship, she spent 6,500 yuan (RM4,257) on a fake passport with the false birth year of 1996 for their trip to Japan.
When questioned by immigration officers, she appeared to feel wronged and exclaimed in frustration: “I only changed my age”.
She was eventually fined 3,000 yuan and her counterfeit passport was confiscated.
