Whether the bride price is the joint property of husband and wife is divided into the following two situations:

1. If the bride price is accepted or purchased by one party, according to the provisions of China's marriage law, the property donated by one party during the existence of the relationship between husband and wife is not specially agreed, and should be the joint property of husband and wife. If a man and a woman do not live together, they can reasonably divide the property according to Article 5 of the Supreme Court 1993 "Several Specific Opinions on Handling Divorce Cases by People's Courts". If the marriage between the two parties lasts for a short time, and the one who gives the bride price causes difficulties in life, it can be handled in accordance with the spirit of Article 8 of the above provisions, and the party with difficulties in life can be appropriately inclined when dividing the same property.

2. The bride price is the only one. Because the bride price is not transferred to the same property of both men and women, it is only occupied by one family, so it is not the joint property of husband and wife. At this time, we should still consider the purpose of the parties when sending the bride price, and return it according to the legislative intention of the second and third items of Article 10 of Interpretation II, in line with the principle of fairness and reasonableness.
