In the first case, if one party buys a house in full before marriage and registers it in his own name, it belongs to one party's personal property. However, if the woman's name is added to the marriage, this behavior will generally be regarded as a gift to the woman. In other words, after the name is added, the property belongs to both husband and wife, and it should be divided when divorced.
In the second case, if there is evidence that the house purchased before marriage is a house with marriage intention, even if the house is registered in the name of one person, it belongs to the joint property of husband and wife.
In the third case, one party paid the down payment before marriage and registered it in his own name. The house belongs to the personal property before marriage, but the repayment of the loan and the corresponding value-added part belong to both husband and wife, and should be divided when divorced.
