The new marriage law draft, before it is finished being amended and comes into effect, has started a media feeding frenzy.

Experts are busy expounding on the legal terms, doing their part in divulging and analyzing the hidden implications for the populace, while netizens are also vigorously spurred to air their views about the pros and cons of the draft.

The main bone of contention revolves around two stipulations. One is about the proposed division of property, which rules that the ownership of a family home is in favor of the party who writes the down-payment check. The other one is to deny financial compensation, no matter how justifiable, posed by a third party coming between marriage partners.
