1. Marriage is defined by law as an agreement between a man and a woman. Unless he had signed a business agreement between himself and his mother requiring he pays her a certain amount each period, that one no enter at all.

2. I think the average Nigeria is terribly misinformed when it comes to the law and marriage. Mass education is definitely in these major areas.

SavageResponse:
■ Why does a Nigerian need education about stupid ass western marital laws? A law that ostensibly rewards laziness of a spouse in marriage cannot be said to be superior to our own!

Kobojunkiee:
1. This is marriage, not your comedy hall.
2. His mother will have to be in court to prove all of that by showing the company records, profits statements by year, etc.

SavageResponse:
■ What makes you think that the lawyers who advised him did not anticipate this and therefore prepared the necessary documents to exploit this loophole. You cannot say with certainty that this is not the case because I am very sure that you have not sighted Hakkimi's contract with his football club.

ednut1:
you think say na Nigeria In western world the laws are different. Just wait and see. I will be back to remind you when the case is done. The divorce laws there are harsh on men.

Livelystone01:

I hope you also understand that the marital laws vary among countries?
You are lumping the west together as if they all operate with the same constitution.

Did you read where it was said that "her Lawyers" made it known to her?

ednut1:
no credible source still. Still waiting

Kobojunkiee:
They are in every way superior. Even the laws in the Northern part of Nigerian are superior to your traditional marriage laws in the south; have been for the longest.

By the way, the particular marriage is not of Nigerian origin, but of western.

ednut1:
Know that if the news is true. The court is still coming for all the assets acquired during the marriage. He committed marital fraud is he transferred his assets to his mother without the wife consenting.

Livelystone01:

LMAO, you selected the part of the comment to respond to.

I want you to tell us if all western nations have same marital law or same constitution.

This will end most of the assertions about a comeback.

Kobojunkiee:
1. In California?

2. It's not the Western world abeg! What this man did was underhanded. For the last 5 years, his family has been deprived of the full benefits of his salary because he was busy hiding it under his mother's name. Come on! That is 419!

LordAdam16:


Depends on the laws.

If he was in the US, placing his assets in his mom's care wouldn't matter. All earnings while married are marked as joint marital property that'd be split at least evenly in the event of a divorce.

In UK law, marriages of 5 years or less (10?) are termed short marriages and the low earning partner does not get 50%. The Hakimi marriage is less than 3 years.

Not familiar with Spanish law.

Athletes and high earners should always sign prenups. It is not optional. Ideally, there should be a prenup that states how much she'd receive. It should be reasonably equitable, otherwise the courts will throw it out.

Unfortunately, you don't need to be married for the courts to split your property. Partners in civil unions and long term co-habitations get financial protections as well.

1. You once argued on another thread (some issue in Ghana, if I'm not mistaken) to the effect that verbal agreements are enforceable in court. I guess we don't have to revisit that, unless you have no principles and change stance on subjective whims.

2. Nigerians are well informed about marriage, especially as it relates to their culture. It's the bigots that believe Western culture is superior that need education.

really? Please make this clear to me

HillaryNelo:
marital fraud for my own property, when did marriage become a bussines arrangement if I may ask

ednut1:

ednut1:
bankruptcy when he is earning 1m euros a month at PSG. Do you know what bankruptcy means lol

omotodun1:
I will have to agree with the OP in this case. A friend of mine here in California did the same thing and he was charged with marital fraud. Now if Hakimi transferred all his wealth to his mother BEFORE his marriage, then the courts can do nothing. However, he was actively transferring the money to his mother's account DURING the marriage. Legally, that money belonged to both him and his wife.

Fellas, this is not 9ja o. The western world will show that man pepper. Just wait and see. Do not prematurely celebrate.

Smartguyboy:
Must of you don’t know the lady is very rich too that the guy can file for child support same way Halle Berry ex husband did and she was paying him $18k monthly.

Kobojunkiee:
He showed you that the law isn't one-sided, so why pretend now that it is about him when the facts are revealed?

ednut1:
https://www.k24tv.co.ke/news/hakimi-wealth-not-owned-by-mother-100766/ real gist will soon come out

OKOATA:
Oga the latest gist is that Hakimis wife will share her property with Hakimi so who loose. Just dey argue blindly since morning.

ednut1:
people like you believe anything you see online. Naso dem tell you say india beat Nigeria 99-1. Did you hear the gist from hakimi , his ex wife or the lawyers. No credible media house has carried the gist. The wife allegedly is worth 2m euros while he makes 1m euros a month. What is there to share. Illiteracy is really a disease

Vinnie2000:


Eyaa. Nigerian Ladies are crying now.

Nigerian women that will have 5million in dier ACC and depend on their Husbands 50k salary.

Nigerian Women that will be Secretly buying Land and building houses while in a Self-contained with their Husbands.

ednut1:
they mostly have similar laws when compared to African countries where women get nothing

ednut1:
hiding assets acquired in marriage from a spouse is fraud.
