Now, the partner whose parents bought the property for the couple will retain sole ownership in a divorce.
The change is part of a new judicial interpretation of the marriage law.

"It was unpleasant for the young couple and their families. But in the end,

Beijing-based lawyer Zhang Jing said he has been bombarded with inquiries since Saturday, when divorce property rules changed.
"We lived in perfect accord with each other before my daughter was born,

Wang Xiuquan, a senior matrimonial lawyer with Beijing Chang An Law Firm, said parents who buy their children houses are the most protected group.
The new explanation also says that if a home is purchased by both sets of parents and the marriage ends in divorce, the value of the asset can be divided according to each side's contribution.

"Parents who buy their children homes used to worry that if their children divorced it could result in the loss of family property," said Sun Jungong,

The wife learned that her husband had been unfaithful (this is why they are not identified) and planned to file for divorce, but she worried she would lose the property.
For example, one Beijing couple married in April 2008 and bought an apartment in Chaoyang district in August 2010 with money contributed by their parents - 800,000 yuan from his parents and 900,000 from hers. The home was registered to the husband.
Wang Hua, who is now 38,

"Fewer and fewer young people can afford a home by themselves without parents' support," he said. "Many parents even put their entire life savings into a home for the children's marriage. I think the new interpretation will protect the rights of these parents."
Although Li agreed to divorce, he insisted that he owned half the property. The apartment was purchased after marriage,
moncler, he said, so it should be viewed as a gift from Wang's parents to the couple.
Under the new explanation, the court can identify the apartment as Wang Hua's personal property as long as her parents can present evidence such as remittance notes, money transfer bills, bank records and the property certificate bearing her name, lawyer Wang Xiuquan said.
With the country's soaring real estate prices, property has become a lucrative asset and is frequently contested in divore cases. Legal experts say the new explanation offers clear-cut reference for judgment in divorce lawsuits involving property.
But it also urges courts to give reasonable consideration and compensation to the other party's contributions toward mortgage payments and to appreciation in the value of the house.
That young woman is not unique. Another, who refused to be named, went so far as to tell her husband she wouldn't have a baby or take care of his parents unless she was registered for ownership.
Every day, more than 5,

As a result of the change, one of Zhang's clients insisted that her name be registered as co-owner of the matrimonial apartment, which her husband's parents purchased, so she would have a right to claim the asset if the marriage fell apart.
While some people complain about having to discuss divorce even before tying the knot,
