Is premarital sex illegal?

Premarital sex is not illegal.

If both parties are adults, if both parties agree, modern society is tolerant, unless the other party is a woman under the age of 14, or if the man forces the woman, it will constitute rape. Voluntary premarital sex under other circumstances does not constitute a crime.

Personal pre-marital property is identified as follows:

1. Property owned by husband and wife before marriage, including personal labor income before marriage, inherited or donated property and other legal income. It also includes real estate purchased for marriage before marriage;

2. The medical expenses and production subsidies brought back by demobilized soldiers from the army, as well as the demobilization expenses and job-changing expenses of married couples with short life;

3. Clothes, articles for daily use and professional articles used by husband and wife at the time of divorce. Of course, except valuables;

4. Property acquired after marriage, which is inseparable from personal identity at the time of divorce, and intellectual property rights that have not obtained economic benefits;

The property agreement between husband and wife is binding on both parties. Including a statutory written agreement and an oral agreement that both parties consider as personal property according to the facts.

6. Pre-marital property is defined as the date of marriage registration of both parties. Before marriage registration, the property jointly owned by both parties belongs to one party. After marriage registration, unless otherwise stipulated by law or otherwise specially agreed by the parties, the property acquired by one party alone or jointly owned by both parties shall be regarded as the same property of the married couple. The purpose of this provision is to simplify the property relationship and facilitate the division of husband and wife's property in divorce.

To sum up, one party's personal property before marriage does not belong to the joint property of husband and wife.
