As Muslim,i believe that My Wife is My responsibility,she deserves everything she need from me,no matter what.

Some men are so pathetic, i mean how can you get into an argument with a WOMAN about who gets to foot the bills in the house

seriously, what is wrong with our men again, ejo ni tori olohun

Man is the head & woman is the neck,,,its obligatory for a man to cater for his family without recourse to the wife.,,due to circumstances the wife may only willingly support her husband if he cant fulfil all his obligation,,but still,its embarrasing for a man when third parties hear about issues like this

THE ANSWER IS CAPITAL NO.HE DID NOT DO ANYTHING IN MARRIAGING THE WOMAN

It depends upon the household and income factor. I can only support that if the woman is a full housewife but if she works and expect her man to always be responsible for all the bills, then that aint proper. She can always take care of the little bills in the house e.g. taking care of the garbage, purchasing of new bulbs to replace the bad ones etc. The bible does not say that we as guys are to pay all the bills. I have grown to realize that few among women are generous when it comes to spending, i mean a lot of women are naturally stingy. They find it hard giving out in a relationship. I guess it's because they are used to guys giving them money so they see it as being foolish which aint true.

As long as the man's the head of the family, he shld by all means see 2 the needs of the family nt minding if the wife earns a fortune. Any man who shares payment of bills with his wife is nt worthy of manhood. The wife isnt obligated to pay 4 anytin as lng as the man live. She cn only help.

To the commentator above,I believe you are single,live in Nigeria,have no job and come from a family where your Mum don't work.
In modern world Gender does not exist but mutual respect and responsibility by those involved in the relationship.Most women earn more than their husband.You need to travel and see what the world is now.
In divorce the marital property is shared 50-50.That's the way law sees marriage.
I believe is the way most ladies where raised with no sense of responsibilities.I believe any man that says sharing bills with his wife is wrong is an insecure man,bent on keeping women in slavery. He wants a situation where he will have control and boast about how he owns everything.

i dnt tink so, it shld be whoever is able at that time.

I went to my dad's village meeting here in the US once and they were collecting dues and some of the women felt like they should pay less than the men because they are women LOL. My little sister got upset at them and I have to say she speaks her mind. She said why would you want to pay less when you are not a lesser human being. She pissed of all those women that day kai. My uncles were silently laughing. At the end everybody stayed paying the same dues. Everything should be based on a percentage

Yes he must.
That is his responsibility

The same reason why some women get into argument with men about who should be responsible for 100% of the household chores. A lot women like to cherry pick to be a woman when it is convenient for them. One woman will in the same breath advocate equality between men and women because it is the 21st century, that women work as hard as men and, therefore, household chores, including cooking and cleaning and laundry, should be distributed evenly between both the man and the woman; this same woman, on the other hand, would advocate being a woman ONLY when it is time to pay the bills and take care of the responsibilities, that the guy should pay the bills and take care of the responsibilities because he is a man.

To these women, you have to make up your mind and choose the side to which you prefer. If you want your man to be responsible fort 100% of the bills, then you should be ready to assume 100% of the household chores. If you contribute to paying the bills, then you can have a say in demanding that you share household responsibilities.

Cyberfreak:

It goes both ways jor. Traditionally, men are supposed to be the sole bread winners of their families and women are the homekeepers and mothers. Its just that nowadays, like someone said, times are hard and the women just have to contribute financially in the upkeep of their families in order to ease the financial burdens. And while the woman does this, it becomes COMPULSORY on the man to assist her with whatever was regarded as her traditional role, just as the woman assists with the breadwinning. If she contributes in the family's financial upkeep, the man, whether he likes it or not, must also assist her in the homefront with whatever duties the woman is traditionally supposed to carry out, except child bearing of course.
It's only fair.

Well said.

there is a saying "man and women are two faces of same coin".its means they have equal responsibilities of the family in maintaining physically mentally and socially to the family members.so in my thought man and women both should engage in a job and care after the childs.so,

dont mind them, lazy men

if the woman wants to contribute she can, but it"s not a responsibility for christ sake, may God punish the man that will be waiting on me to share the work load with, if you cant handle it then dont get married for freaking sake

I will give as i want, no man is going to force me to

bloody losers

this sholdn't even be a topic. what kind of marriage will it be arguing over who will pay what and what? Money shoudn't be a problem if there is joint account.

that is why i said i give what i want and not what the guy wants, some men are so pathetic, i mean you dont expect or wait for a woman to pay the bills, or put pressure on her, she will do it if she wants . for goodness sake no man should wait on a woman for financial help, the woman can help, but dont see it as a responsibility or she must do it

A man marries a woman to take care of her and not to share the bills with her

Times are changing we now live in the 21st century where responsibilities are now shared between both partners.

Me and my missus share responsibilities. Although I may just edge her a bit in what I contribute. We split the mortgage 50-50 but assign other bills individually so I pay say council tax and she pays water rates. Women want to be equal with men in all other areas but do not want to share responsibility. My missus used to earn more than me for a longtime and there was a perriod I wasnt earning at all. I took out a loan so I could still meet my own commitments and i,lld expect her to do the same if she found herserlf in that situation. Unless you earn over £100,000 a year that old skool naija style of men doing everything cannot work.

my wife wants to take up 100% responsibility Am i not lucky

D funny thing is :most of these women r very wicked and stingy. . .They r always unwillingly 2 assist especially when d man is financially down. . .and sometimes when they managed 2 help out. . .they grumble or do it in a disrespectful way(callin d man,  names like lazy,weak and comparing d man 2 other men).most women don't know that life is ups and downs. . .even money miss road or sea never dry no dey permanent.

A responsible husband must be at least 70% responsible for the family bills, while the wife should take the remaining 30%.

A woman is expected to be a helper and not a liability.

Please tell this^^ to that amebo.no1 girl vommitting rubbish

^^^Needfully so

@Poster:

Needless to say, women want equality in everything but not responsibilities, naija babes just wanna have fun  

Needfully

correct

The wife is supposed to be a help-meet. That means she can help in areas where he is deficient, including settling of family bills.

@ poster

last time i checked, women wanted to have equal rights, well let them start practicing by paying the bills 50-50

What about if the woman's income is higher than that of the man, and the man's income cannot take care of the family alone. what will happen? they will be soaking garri every day because the man is the head of the family. The children will not attend a better school because the man is the head of the family.

sorry but men i know dont live in that kind of 21st century you are talking about, i am not marrying a man for him to rely on my finance to pay a morgage, a woman has to contribute but the men should not expect things from them, it is not her responsibility neither is it her right

my husband knows his rights and responsibilities as a man

thank GOD I dont have the kind of nethacker as husband who only thinks with his anus and manhood and has a long way to go before he can be called a sensible person
