The man divorced her wife just because he thought his wife didn't take care of him when he was ill. However, they didn't have money to solve their problem in the court. So they make a deal. They divided all the properties and their house was also cut into two parts. The man has already took his part away and that part belongs to her wife still stand there. Right now, the man lives in his parents's house so that his parents can look after him when he is ill. His wife said that if his husband lived at home, she would take care of him and pay for the medicine. If he chose to live in his parents, she wouldn't pay for that. According to the village head, this couple has been together for nearly 40 years. It is a pity that they divorce just for this unreasonable reason. And a local lawyer said that it was legal that they divided their property after they reached an agreement. However, it didn't mean that they had divorced legally. Just have a look at their house.

They can live together for almost 40 years but old age somjetimes makes a man chooses a wrong turn, to absurdity and unwise, probably. Only he knows the real reason.

So I guess a similar situation could not occur. I have conflicting information on who actually owns the property, is it the government/local authority or the property developer?

Although they didn't divorce, they have reached an agreement on division of property and it is legal. So he lost a lot.
