Can she get half the value of her property by adding her name before and after marriage?

In March, Xiao Chen (male) and Xiao Li registered to get married. Before getting married, Xiao Chen's parents bought a commercial house for Chen Xiaoquan in the city, paid off the full amount and registered it in Xiao Chen's personal name. Shortly after the two parties got married, Xiao Li proposed to add his name to the house. Considering that both parties are married, Xiao Chen agreed to this request and changed the property right of the house to be shared by both parties.

However, after marriage, because of personality disagreement, feelings faded. Not long after, Xiao Li filed for divorce, demanding that the property be divided-the house belongs to Xiao Chen, but she should be compensated for half of the property value.

Xiao Chen believes that the house was bought by his parents before marriage and was his personal property before marriage. Even if Xiao Li's name is added, the nature of real estate as personal property should not be changed.

So does Xiao Li really have the right to share half the value of this property?

The lawyer said:

The act of "adding a name after marriage" should be regarded as a gift from one spouse to the other, and the property belongs to both spouses. After changing the registration of property rights, if the woman can't determine the reason for revocation, she can't revoke the gift at will. The house belongs to both husband and wife. If there is no specific share, it should be divided equally in principle. Therefore, in this case, it is reasonable for Xiao Li to ask for half of the compensation for the house jointly owned by husband and wife.
