If there is no conflict and love remains, there will be no issue regarding the division of property between husband and wife.

Personal Property

Personal property refers to assets acquired before marriage, such as a house, car, land, or money. It belongs solely to one spouse and can be managed independently.

Examples of Personal Property:

• Assets owned before marriage: Must be legally owned before the marriage to qualify.
• Personal belongings: Items like jewelry, watches, clothes, or dentures that reflect one’s social status.
• Professional tools: Equipment necessary for one’s occupation, such as a hoe, shovel, or machinery.
• Inheritance or gifts during marriage: Assets received as an inheritance or as a gift of goodwill.
• Engagement gifts: These are considered the personal property of the wife.
• Substitutes for personal property: Assets acquired by selling or exchanging personal property.

Marital Property

Marital property refers to assets acquired after marriage registration. It includes salaries, bonuses, rental income, or interest earned from personal property, as well as inheritance or gifts explicitly designated as marital property.

Key Points About Marital Property:

• Joint Ownership: Spouses must manage marital property together or with the consent of the other party.
• Assets acquired during marriage: All income earned by either spouse, regardless of individual contribution. Examples: salaries, pensions, or compensation payments.
• Inheritance or gifts with specified marital status: Property received through a will or written gift, provided it is explicitly stated to be marital property.
• Income from personal property: Any returns generated from personal property, whether natural income (e.g., fruit from trees) or legal income (e.g., interest from savings).

Marital property ensures that assets accumulated during the marriage are shared and managed together unless otherwise specified by law or agreement.
