[quote=JIMMYB,438204]According to Xinhua News Agency, China issues an explanation on the Marriage Law. The explanation on the settlement of real estate disputes in divorce has upset many Chinese mothers-in-law. According to the explanation, a house bought by parents and registered under their child’s name remains the child’s personal property after the child gets married. It means the other part in the marriage will not co-own the house. However, it the house is purchased by both sides of parents, the house can be split according to each side’s contribution once their kids divorce. On the other side, the one who bought the property by monthly installments before marriage will own the property after divorce, even the property was registered during the marriage. However, the other part can require compensation if he/she pay for the loans. Most Chinese mothers-in-law are very angry about the explanation. Why? If the boy’s parents bought a house for him, his wife will not become the co-owner of the property. What can they do? First, Chinese mothers-in-aw have to add more condition---If you want to marry my daughter, you have to add her name on the property ownership certificate. Well, not all boys will agree to do that. Second, the mothers-in-law can ask the boy to give a lot of money as betrothal gifts. Then they can take out some money to buy a house for their daughter and son-in-law together with the boy’s parents. PS: the new explanation says that the women in the marriage can decide to abort or not and the men have no right to interfere. What if the women take this as a chip to require the men to add her name on the property ownership certificate? [/quote]
