Well she must ensure to write a will in accordance too to avoid her parents or siblings wahala. I support a woman to do as much as a man does so long she doesn't loose her good wife material qualities because some women will be hard to tame. 1 Like |

AXYZ: Your wife/husband cant richer than you because your are meant to be one person i.e lets say you are civil married married by law, your assets are considered as couples assets regardless the wife is a housewife in the event you lose the house the wife and kids gets affected hence, there is nothing like his property or her property in civil married couple, except in special cirumstances like properties are in family trust or business names and shares of the business owned by also other people than yourself and that house belong to their business but yes wife can properites in her name if you both agree to fo it openly between the two of you most african own properties behind hubby's back due biased traditional way of distributing of an estate when hubby dies becoz of greedy hubby family takes everything and kick out the widow, so most wives go behind hubby buy a property in her name to secure house in the event hubby dies 1st and his family takes everything then the other side is, wife would want to uplift her side family but they dont tell hubby and when hubby finds out he rushes to conclude simply the wife kept her idea as secret instead of being open, that wish to uplift her own family 1 Like |

jaxxy:Very good response also, if the man marries a second wife or divorces his wife leaving her with nothing/or very small change....women like to be secure with their kids.....it is not ideal though and TRUST means a lot in marriage. |

Odunharry:Very true man. The tone of the thread has made most of the females agree with the concept. But create another topic about how husbands should make sure they buy all their properties in their own name only, and these same chics will start crying blood. Personally, I love the concept. |
Re: Is It Right For A Wife To Keep Properties In Her Name? by sharone21(f): 6:55am On Nov 05, 2019 |
crackhaus:Yes, because women lose a lot just to be married....she has to GIVE her life (if possible) through death and life child bearing this is apart from each child taking up to 5yrs of her life before he can be a bit 'independent' to walk to a nearby school....women SERVE a lot in marriage so, no sane woman would want to be in a 'cheated' relationship and thus would voice out. 1 Like |

crackhaus:I'm telling you. I don't have a problem when a lady buys properties in her name, infact many of them should do incase things go wrong in the future, bit they shouldn't scream murder if the husband do the same thing. I posted a pix sometimes where an HR officer was suprised and ask why women don't use their husband as NOK but majority of men uses their wives. Won't be surprise if many of them do the same thing since property is involved. |
Re: Is It Right For A Wife To Keep Properties In Her Name? by crackhaus: 7:10am On Nov 05, 2019 |
Odunharry:Yup, I think I was on that thread. My own is, do only what you can take being done to you. If wives like, they can use their dead grandmother as NOK for all I care...as long as they don't scream blue murder when husbands skip them the same way. |
Re: Is It Right For A Wife To Keep Properties In Her Name? by crackhaus: 7:15am On Nov 05, 2019 |
sharone21:Okay, correct me in case I'm wrong. Your point is, it's okay for wives to buy properties in their own name BUT it's cheating if a husband buys solely in his name. No? |

Odunharry: A lot of men too don't use their wives. Rather, they use their children. This is ignorance on their part because NOK is not the same as beneficiary in Nigeria. |

kunleweb:any woman who eels a property to her father's name isn't wise and any who does with her husband is not , properties are a resource for the family if not then she shouldn't get married and have his children , she should keep it for her family , the best she could do is have the property in her sons name , at that point making securing the estate to her child and not the man, Men who have had wives cheating realised use of funds from personal resources, even using her own house to camp her gigolos. |

Not bad sha. But I know that in 90% of the cases, the properties of both couples still belongs to the children. So they are still on the same page. Lamanii22: 1 Like |

plasgidy: Lol. We are currently staying in my own house, so if there's going to be any kicking out getting done, I'm the one doing it. Thanks for the concern though. I am an avid proponent of my money is mine and her money is hers; aside from my additional manly duty to feed and sustain the family. Afterall, not all marriages last for life. It is easier to split up later if you kept the respective finances seperate from the beginning. |

Sanchez01:Even the bible says we should guard our heart with all diligent for out of it flow the issues of life"..She is referring to while she is married and not before it..Of cos one would bail out from any relationship where either of the party is self centered . Now in a situation while you are blissfully married and the man or woman pulls that kind of stunt, what would you have her do? purchase a property and include the mans name too? Some people are wired differently when it comes to their properties. They can be lovey-dovey all the way but not when their properties are involve. In this situation it is better they both have their properties and include their spouses and children as their next of kin. It does not change anything, nor does it mean they do not love each other. My grand aunt and her husband had this same arrangement with their properties and their marriage lasted for 50 years. They are late now and their children inherited both properties. Couples should discuss this among themselves and practice what ever work for them, as long as there is openness in whatever they do, I dont think there will be any issue..we too dey attach sentiment to things for Naija sha. |

PHIPEX:It now depend on the environment where this stuff happens. Like in the East and some SS states, if anything happens to the man, (God forbid) his family will come and fight the woman over properties especially when there is no will to protect the woman and her children. Women are not seen as fit to own properties in those regions and some other society in Nigeria. What about if the woman has only girls with no male child and she wishes for her daughters to inherit her properties without some stupid tradition getting in the way. There are many injustice against woman especially when the husband is deceased, so it is good for the woman to have some form of security in her name against any unforeseen events.Women (especially when they are educated)have more liberties in the cities to fight for their late husbands properties than other less civilized society where these injustice is still being practiced. |

I think it is wise she keeps the property in her name, because men can be funny at times. How is she sure that the husband doesn't have another wife elsewhere? Is it when he dies that that other woman would come and reap where she did not sow? It should be her choice absolutely, to have it joint or personalised. |
