[size=3pt] Greetings naira Landers, my only sister is happily married to a lawyer and this guy have been instrumental to me and my family since he got married to my sister. Now I intend getting a car for my sis because her office is a little bit far from their home, the problem now is I don't know how her husband will feel if I use my sister's name for the car papers. Now I'm contemplating between using only her name or including her husband's name to the document which made me to bring the question here. Please married couples in the house,I need your sincere advice.

Note: I don't want to discuss this with my sis and her husband because I want the car to be a surprise [/size]

Use the money by land for them if they don't have a house already... Put Mr and Mrs blablabla... Or If they have a son, use the money by land for the son in the son's name. Car is a depreciating asset, thus it's a useless gift.

Ahh! Pls don't put only your sister's name since the husband doesn't have a car yet..

You can put their names or better still put your own name. Which ever one, don't put your sister's name alone.

Nice advice

You guys have reduced women to nothing in that country. You want to buy a car for someone and you're asking whose name to put on it? Are you buying the car for your brother-in-law or you sister? Why should this be confusing ? Tomorrow, y'all will claim you don't understand why feminism exists. You push your women to the wall and expect them to keep moving.

Rumour has it that this is how Jamie Lannister started .
Except your next thread is going to be titled "How can I legally marry my sister"

Then we should not even be discussing this. Okay let me help you answer this yourself.

1. If your sister was single and you wanted to buy her this car would need to create this thread to ask this question?
Answer: No
Why?: Because she is single and her surname is the same as yours so it wouldn't make sense to buy it in another name other than her's right ? Correct

2. Since she is married , hence her name has changed why do you need to ask this question? Isn't the obvious answer to buy it in her marriage name being Mrs sister ..........

Now except you are subtly asking us how to end your sister's marriage then , trust me you are on the right track

Bros do not let the good thing you want to do cause marital issues for your sister

I have been buying a lot of gifts for my sisters and Will continue to do so in their names without anyones opinion, by the way why will the husband feel otherwise if he truly love his wife?

As a matter of fact you indirectly relieved him of some burdens and he should be grateful to you for that, probably he might be planning to get one for her before now but can now channel the said money into something else either building project or something.

Besides it's not as if the husband won't have access to the car, because I'm sure sometimes she might even opt to board a cab and allow the husband go for his function if need be.

Bring her husband into the plan and do the registration in her name. Otherwise, buy it in your name and allow them to decide for themselves and afterwards, do a change of ownership during registration of the vehicle. My 2 cents.

The surprise is for your sister i believe.

so inform her husband privately that you intend on surprising his wife with a car, and he should help you play along.

Since her husband is a Lawyer, then he should know that the name of the legal owner of the vehicle should be on the documents. That said, since he's a good man and has been "instrumental" (I'm assuming you mean he has helped you in some kinda way) to you and your family, why not involve him in the process of you surprising your sister with the car? You would still be the one presenting the car to her, as you're the one who bought it for her and the one surprising her with it, but you should take him along. Just tell him not to tell your sister beforehand but as a mature man, once you tell him it's a "surprise", he should know not to do that.

About him feeling some kind of way,
I'm assuming he has a car of his own, so there's no reason he should feel somwhow or envious about your sister having her own car. Even if he doesn't have his own, that's the more reason he should be happy about the car. Any grown and mature man/husband would have no problem with this at all.


Youngdanaval. This is the best advice. Since you said both of you are pals, involve him, the husband in all of this. You two could even arrange a surprise party when u want to launch it.

You can call the husband like this:

Bros. How far na? E get wetin I go wan yarn you o. Make we see , e go sweet .
I dey reason obtain a car for your wife to dey take comute work. As you know na, I like this my sister well well. Just wan appreciate all she has done . Na him I say make I tell you make we go fir arrange am as surprise for her.

He will agree and then you will continue by saying, " I will get the paperwork sorted too, If the husband na Guy man, it won't be an issue



Truly, I don't see a biggie in buying a car in your sister's name for her here but I also understand you about not creating a friction between the couple. Man and ego, especially when the husband doesn't have a car . People will take it differently .

Put the car in your name, give it to both of them to use and have peace.

If the Husband is proud he will not use the car and God forbid anything happens to theri marriage, it will always be your sister's car .

You can register it in your name, and have a separate document that shows it was gifted to your sister incase of police stop and checks. You can discuss the name to be put with your sister.

Since the man was instrumental to you guys success, since your sister got married to him, if I get the drift well. In my honest opinion if he's without a car, you should gift the family the car together. But if the man already has one for himself, why not! Gift your sister the car and let the car document carry only her details.

So the next question is, is he mature enough to be happy that his wife, your sister would soon have a car gift from you his in-law/her brother.

Abi your sister na the type wey go dey popo her husband because she don get car.

Or you know the guy has a character that would probably make him unhappy with you buying your sis a car.

There is something you are not saying that is making you come to nland to ask for unnecessary question.

If not the straight forward thing to do is buy the car and put only your sisters name on it. Carry the guy along in surprising your sis/his wife.

If I were your sister's husband and you buy a car in your sister's name, I may not take it lightly. It is a very sensitive issue. It depends on your brother-in-law. If he is a traditional Nigerian man, he will read meaning into it - like - are you trying to say I am not taking care of my wife?

So if you are not being political about it, buy the car in your brother in law's name. You are mixing up 2 things which are not related: 1) you want to give them a surprise 2) you want to buy a car for your sister, in her name to aid her in going to work due to distance (to avoid stress).

I wish you the best sha


Wow.

I'm just bamboozled!
