Even if that individual moved into the village knowing perfectly well that this is the rule in this village?

It is not unreasonable to me that you have to pitch in for common goods if you live in a village, and should you refuse to take part in this you might find yourself in a situation where you have to either move out of the village or forfeit your share.

Flouting laws does not a victim make. A more suitable modern expression is probably "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".
