(1) The revised Act 830-1 states that "property which is obtained in either party's name after marriage is regarded as seperate property,". But this act can be interpreted as follows: "As far as the wife's domestic labor is not recognized, property which is obtained after marriage is the husband's." Furthermore, husbands are likely to insist upon obtaining properties in their name because the scale of properties which would have been classed as the husband's before the revision is now limited.

But the uncertainty of the existing law is not a major problem about the conflict of the register of the marital property agreement and the land register. The registeration of the marital property agreement has been based on a modernizing of land registeration
