Is unmarried cohabitation legal? How do couples divide their property before marriage

No matter how deep the relationship between lovers is, as long as they are not married, it is always possible to break up. If they have cohabited before marriage and broke up unexpectedly, how to divide their property? In fact, the property of premarital cohabitation still belongs to individuals.

The marriage law only stipulates the principle that the property obtained by husband and wife during the duration of marriage relationship shall be jointly owned by husband and wife, and does not stipulate the principle that the property during unmarried cohabitation shall be jointly owned by both parties.

However, premarital cohabitation is living together in the name of husband and wife, which can be handled according to de facto marriage, that is, the property of both parties is shared. If girls don't want their property to be shared with a man who has nothing to do with it one day, remember to attribute all their finances to their own names, so that they won't lose both people and money. However, if this condition is not met, the property during premarital cohabitation shall be owned by the individual.
