Are the Good Effects of the New Marriage Law More Than Its Bad Effects? [Background]
Auguest 12th,2011, the Supreme Court held a news conference and made public the latest interpretation on applying the Marriage Law, which is meant to provide a judicial basis for courts. The interpretation consists of 19 new items and is valid from August 13 this year.
One of the items says, "property bought before marriage, either outright or on mortgage, reverted to the buyer on divorce." In short, a house purchased before a marriage is personal property. The money paid toward the mortgage by married partners should be paid back in the same ratio in divorce proceedings.
Another item says, "if the parents of one of the married couple buy a house for their child and the property ownership certificate is solely registered to the child, the house will belong to the child in the event of a divorce. If both parents of the couple buy a house for the couple, the house will be split proportionately to the amount of money parents spent buying the house."
These two items, which are directly related to possession of a family house in the event of a divorce, have attracted the most attention.
[ The good effects of the New Marriage Law]
1.It is good for a family to protect their investment.“The government says that in an era of soaring property prices—up about 500 percent since 2000, according to the National Bureau of Statistics—the law must protect a family’s investment. The law does not specify gender, so a woman who brought an ap artment would also get it back at divorce.”
