Whether the rural self built houses are the common property of husband and wife needs to be divided. If the husband and wife jointly contribute to the construction of a house after marriage, the house shall be recognized as the joint property of the husband and wife. If it is built jointly with family members, the property shall be calculated according to the proportion of contributions of both husband and wife. If one party obtains the right to use the homestead and builds a house before marriage, the house is the property of one party before marriage.
