If the father-in-law has an agreement on additional matters when repaying the loan for her husband, it shall be implemented as agreed.
If the father-in-law repays the loan for her husband, if there is no agreement, it is something other than dividing the property. If there is an agreement to form a creditor's right relationship, both husband and wife have the responsibility to repay their debts.
