Property disputes are not uncommon in divorce. However, disputes over dowry at the time of marriage are always overwhelming.

There was a divorce case in Hongqi District, Can Tho City. According to plaintiff Nguyen Ngoc Thanh (pseudonym), her son and Tran Thanh Quan (pseudonym) decided to marry after a period of romance, so she discussed the wedding with Tran's biological mother. The woman said that she would hold a grand wedding and asked the man for 50 million yuan, but did not disclose how many banquets would be set up. The matter was only talked to through **, and no written contract was signed. However, after the man handed over the money to the woman, only 5 tables were set up on the wedding day. In addition, before the wedding, Ruan Yuheng handed over 20 million yuan to her son for taking pictures, videography, bridal makeup, etc. But after getting married, Chen Qingquan only lived at her husband's house for about a month before returning to her parents' house without permission.

Now, the two have divorced, so Ruan Yuheng filed a lawsuit, demanding that Chen's Qingquan's mother return 50 million yuan, because she had violated the wedding organization's commitment, and at the same time demanded that Chen's Qingquan return 20 million yuan, because the daughter-in-law's obligations were not fulfilled.

Chen's mother admitted in court that Nguyen Ngoc Thanh had given her 50 million yuan to organize the wedding. The matter was completely voluntary, she did not put forward any conditions, and she did not promise to have a grand wedding. She set up 10 tables for the wedding, hired a band and hired cleaners, so the money was all gone, so she didn't agree to return the money. As for Chen's Qingquan, she didn't know anything about Ruan Yuhui's handing over 20 million yuan to her son, because when holding a wedding, all parties paid for taking pictures and videography. Therefore, she did not agree to return 20 million yuan.

The Hongqi County People's Court held that although Ruan Yuhui handed over 50 million yuan to the woman, the groom's family paid for the bride's family to prepare the wedding banquet completely voluntarily, which was in line with the traditions and customs of national weddings. The law does not require the groom's family to pay the bride's family at the time of the wedding, so the matter is negotiated by the parties.

In fact, on the day when the bride was picked up at the groom's house, the bride's family had set up a banquet to greet the bride, and the two parties had registered their marriage. Therefore, Ruan Yuhui thought that the bride's family did not handle the wedding thoughtfully, and there was no basis for her request for a refund of 50 million yuan. The law and custom do not stipulate that in the event of a divorce, the woman is responsible for refunding the money paid by the husband for the marriage of the woman.

As for the 20 million yuan payment, according to the adjudication committee, Chen Qingquan did not know about the amount. In fact, if the man pays for the woman to take pictures, videos, makeup, etc., it is also suitable, because the purpose is to serve the wedding. The breakdown of the marriage between the two parties was an accident, and the wedding expenses had already been paid, so it was inappropriate for Ruan Yuheng to ask for the money back.

Therefore, the adjudication committee did not accept Nguyen Ngoc Thanh's request to prosecute.

Refusal to share the marriage**.

Zhang Fufu (pseudonym) and Zheng Hongyu (pseudonym) lived together for 4 months after getting married, and there were many conflicts, so the man filed for divorce.

With regard to joint property, he was informed that on the day of the wedding, his parents gave him 15 dollars**. Then, he and his wife agreed**5 money** in exchange for a set of **bracelets for Zheng Hongyu to wear as jewelry. All weddings** are managed by the woman.

Zhang Fufu agreed to let his wife exchange 5 yuan** for a set of **bracelets, and then sell them for money to treat the disease, so the remaining joint property of the couple is 10 yuan**. At the time of the divorce, he asked for a split of the 10 dollars**.

As for Zheng Hongyu, she admitted that Zhang had rich what she said. However, when the couple no longer lived together, she fell ill and had to sell all her ** to heal and make ends meet. Therefore, she did not agree to share the joint property with Zhang Fufu.

The People's Court of Xinshi County, An Giang Province accepted the divorce request between Zhang Fufu and Zheng Hongyu. Regarding the wedding**, Zheng Hongyu said that she had sold the joint ** to get money for treatment, but there was no document or evidence to prove it.

In addition, there is no basis for consideration for her to sell all of the couple's marriage** during the marriage without her husband's consent. And Zhang Fufu and Zheng Hongyu both admitted that 10 yuan ** was the joint property of the couple. Therefore, Zhang Fufu's request is well-founded. Accordingly, the court declared that Zheng Hongyu was entitled to 5 yuan** and Zhang Fufu was entitled to 5 yuan**, that is, Zheng Hongyu was required to return 5 yuan** to Zhang Fufu.

In order to get a divorce, the bride price must be returned.

Ruan Qiushuang (pseudonym) asked for a divorce from Wu Qinglin (pseudonym). The latter then filed a counterclaim, demanding that the former return a dowry worth 25 million yuan (including cash and pork) before agreeing to the divorce. According to him, in the local area, in the event of divorce, the wife must return the dowry.

During the trial, the People's Court of Binh Gia District, Lang Son Province held that, according to the written confirmation of the State authorities, there was no custom in the area where the woman must return the dowry to the man in the event of divorce.

The court held that the gift of a dowry was a contract for the gift of property. In this case, the gift of property is an agreement between the two parties on the amount, form, etc., and there are no other conditions. Therefore, the court rejected Wu Qinglin's request for a return of the dowry.
