Even the addition of the spouse's name after marriage does not change the nature of his or her personal property.
Loan to buy a house and repay the loan: If the mortgage is repaid with the joint property of the husband and wife after the marriage, the repayment and the increase in value may be considered as joint property.

This not only helps to maintain the harmony and stability of the marriage, but also provides a clear legal basis in the event of a dispute.
