The husband and wife must repay the debt together. If there are relevant IOUs and other proofs, it will be determined based on the situation.
If it is borrowed by the man, it is his personal debt before marriage and cannot be shared as a debt between the husband and wife in the event of divorce. However, if the payer has difficulty living due to borrowing money from relatives and friends as bride price before marriage, he may request the return of the bride price upon divorce.
Whether a bride price is considered prenuptial property depends on the time of gift. The bride price is generally paid according to wedding customs. If the man pays the woman before the marriage, it belongs to the woman's personal property. If it is given to the woman after marriage according to custom and is used for the husband and wife to live together, then under normal circumstances it should be regarded as post-marital property and the joint property during the existence of the relationship between husband and wife. The law stipulates that the pre-marital property of one party or the property determined in the gift contract to belong only to the husband or wife is the separate property of the couple.
