Key Notes
The student explicitly raises the possibility that the friend may try to withdraw once the marriage appears morally contaminated and politically unstable.
The student argues that once the friend sees the coercion, the marriage no longer produces power or alliance but instead destroys the very family and political order it was meant to secure.
Jiang reinforces that the friend would inherit moral and reputational contamination by aligning himself with a man willing to threaten his own mother.
