■ Becus women arent playing such! How many of the ladies u know agress to marry a man who stays at home or does very little stuff financially?
Why not focus all your energy instead on finding yourself a woman who will agree to your terms rather than worrying about the many others who will not agree to your terms? Are you trying to force a woman into marrying you on your own terms or what? undecided

some men are just mad

if you go through the write the woman even directly contributed to the house

1. the woman contributed 200k as part of the 400,000 payment
she paid another money after loan people nearly sold the house

2. and married for over 35 year,

yet the man thought he own the house fully and exclusively alone

Was actions 1 & 2 taken by same woman? If yes, the first or second wife?

How true is that? Note that the veracity of that statement was not established by the court.
Also, note that they are equal partners. Did they sit down together and agree to sell the property in dispute?

Well, good question, that is exactly the crux of the matter.

Read what the judge in fact said....
It is not that way o as the lower judge put it!
The supreme court has already done justice on the issue of a what is considered contributory for couples to access properties.Tge supreme court has said it must be significant .And I this case the contribution of the year Oman on the actualisation of the property either was significant to an extent .
The judg did not need to introduce the new word .it would create problems.
The judge only needed to ask if the wife did not fight the fha for th said property would he still have that property at hand .
Then it would difficult for the .man

Can u now see the double standard? The so called law was made, but ur gender will never want to marry a man who has no source of income while she has a source of income.
They all want to marry a man who is financially secured. Then contribute by so called impact in his life and claim property?
I can never stop my wife from working or running business. She is free to buy whatever she wishes to buy in her name or joint name if we both jointly buy it. As long as she makes her contributions financially running the home too. No wahala

No need to mention the first wife, the court just established the fact that the sale of the house is cancelled due to the fact that there is no clear consent from the wife that brought him to the court.

In other words he must seek the clear written consent of his wives in the future for such transaction. So the old wife now has mouth to demand her own right too.





So the man should return the N20m paid for the house?

Does this mean that if they all consent to the sale in future, they all get equal share from the sale as co-owners?

Marriage is and has always been a business partnership and partners in a business are entitled to a share of business profits and property.

1. There is no double standard. There is just you whining that you are unable to force any woman out there to agree with you. Look, marriage is and has always been an agreement between a man and a woman. So, if what you want is a woman who will marry you as a house husband, then go out there and look for just that kind of woman and stop whining about how it doesn't all fit you. undecided

There are men out there who are househusbands to their wives. So, connect with them and learn from them how to find yourself a woman like that. Simple! undecided

wirinet:

We don't have to wait for women to accept it, the English common law and the courts have already accepted it. If the man takes hus wife to court and can prove he has made significant contributions to the marriage, the court will rule they share the properties in accordance to their contributions.

90% of Nigerian courts will not rule in favor of the man, the law is very prejudiced against lazy men! Let's get this straight even this case can be successfully appealed, if the man never collected a dime from her. The judgment was not only based on her non financial contribution but the length of the marriage and her financial contributions. Rescuing him by paying 150k is just an example of how irresponsible the man is and the judge used that against him.

In a more straightforward case, the judge would have ruled in favor of the man since it is not a joint investment but this case is not straightforward. They lived in the house for 30 years, trust has been established that it is a family property and not just the husband's, I doubt the judge would rule similarly if they never lived in the house or the wife had other property to live in.

This is a revolutionary judgement . It no longer matters any more whose name is on the original property titles. The properties of the man is jointly owned by him and his wife even if it's paid for by the man.

Why will the woman's contribution to the property be the free pvssy nature gave her.......did she fvck her self with a base ball bat..?? did she swallow air and got pregnant??

You make it look like the woman did the man a favor by birthing kids for him...so he must pay back with property.... grin ....they both gave each other kids cos she the man contribute to the sex and raised children togegher...why will the woman now lay claims over financial property because of sex and children she ddnt do alone in the first place...

All these funny laws will eventually backfire on women cos men wont marry them anymore

It seems you have not yet realized that women are becoming less interested in marriage, yearning more for motherhood without being wives!😂😂😂

Women who are earning better tend to question the "usefulness" of a man. Some of them prefer to have children without a baby daddy or husband in the picture.....their concept of family is mother and child(ren) while still maintaining sexual relationships with men who are no way linked to their child (ren)....so it "pays" the man and the woman.

Read it again... She doesn't have to have first contributed money to have a share in the marital property. That she is your wife and as such contributes her time and efforts to your success is more than enough to give her the right to part of the profits of the marriage. undecided

You are misinterpreting already. The item is "marital property", and "not your success'.




The court ruled that “indirect contributions of a wife to the "marital property" should not be quantified in monetary terms in order to entitle her to a share of the property”.
