You better don’t try that rubbish. If he wants to fight, put it in your children’s names. It’s a man like him that gave you the property. You can both hustle for your own in the marriage. The one from your father is for you and your children. 3 Likes |

crackhaus: I do not think Igbo women inherit land in their village. I believe wives can farm on their husbands' lands though if Nollywood uncles don't take it from them. I doubt culture stops an Igbo man/woman from adding their offspring to their wills (for non-landed properties in the village). Truthfully, everyone's experience is dependent on their families and husbands. No matter how restrictive Hausa's culture can be, no one can stop Dangote from handing over his empire to his daughters if he so wills. 3 Likes |

@OP: Rich kid problems. No law states a wife should hand over her inheritance to her hubby. However, some parents tie their daughter's inheritance to marriage and even will the properties to the hubby on the wedding day. Maybe too much AM sha. |

yeyeosoronga:We are talking about places where women do receive 'some' inheritance. So tell me why it should be more? Are women not also co-owner's of their husband's wealth/properties? One too many times on this forum, we've had discussions about how wives want to be the sole beneficiaries in the will of a late husband (this means the children are not what these women care about). Now fathers in some places give a certain share to daughters, but because it is not as much as what the sons get, it is also a problem. What exactly is the obsession with acquiring a combined wealth from fathers and from husbands? Is this still about gender equality or just good ol' Nigerian greed? ![]() 7 Likes |

bukatyne:This is true, but I'm trying to determine the cultures that permit it. And so far, it seems more like a usual occurence than just something that is dependent on families. |

crackhaus: Don't get it twisted. I'm ENTITLED to an inheritance from my parents if they have anything to bequeath (and they've not refused me one in a will). Would you reject your inheritance because you already co-own property or have your own money? Or are you greedy if you want a fair share of your inheritance? Should Dangote be termed greedy if he collects an inheritance from his wealthy mother's Dantata family? Marital property as you rightly said is co-owned and so it's not an inheritance. Majority of young people marry as hustlers with no wealth, and wealth is built during the marriage with a lot of sacrifices from both the couple. They both own the property. That doesn't make them greedy if they still inherit from their parents. It is their right to do so. 6 Likes |

crackhaus: Yeah Yoruba women inherit, married, single, divorced, widowed whatever title you have. they dont even give preference to the male in property matters. Mostly equal sharing, but then individual greed of some siblings or wicked evil relatives might be an issue. Its even as nice as you inherit from your dad, then if your own mum has personal properties (inherited or acquired) you get a share of that too ![]() That doesn't mean that other women from other tribes inherit, so your bolded statement is still a fact. Some cultures do not allow their female daughter inherit from their fathers house. 1 Like |

baby124: Of course not! I can never do something as foolish as that. P.s. please learn to utilize common sense my dear - my comment was to address the common perception that wives are entitled to husband's inheritance while husbands aren't entitled to the wife's. This ain't gender wars, just facts. 6 Likes |

crackhaus: Igbo don't give their daughters inheritance that's why they can do anything to get a male child eg baby factory. My state legislature passed a bill against that recently so I don't know how far. Yes, it's that bad. Although the rich don't obey that useless tradition. 1 Like |

crackhaus: I don't know about other tribes, but yes it's a serious cancerworm in igboland. When I was in school, my neighbour was given almost half hectare of land from her maternal side she wasn't even aware of. She hasn't been to the place as her mum died while giving birth to her. From calabar. We will get there. This is the only place we got it all wrong. But it seems like onitsha people do share inheritance among all children equal. |
