In benin, many women ar property owners against this dreaded tradition. In yr 2008 my mum opted 2 own a house of her own. She didn't tell my dad untill after buying d plot of land.
She called me and said she had a suprise 4me. When i returned, she showed the documents and i was upset and traveled back 2my base. My dad felt bad and it took God's intervention 2 restore peace in the family.
Wen i later interogated her she said she did it for my sake as her only son since i av a step broda older than i am. Up till now i delibrately refused to visit its location.
