After marriage, if parents contribute to the purchase of a house for both parties, the contribution shall be recognized as a gift to both parties, unless parents explicitly express that they are donating to one party. Where a parent contributes to a child's purchase of a house before marriage, it shall be deemed as a gift to the child of one party, and shall be recognized as the personal property of one party before marriage.
