socialmediaman:
1. What you had before you got married belongs to you

A lot of people would not agree to this.

socialmediaman:
2. What you earned while you were married belongs to both of you

This is generally assumed as normal, with some cultural variation favouring the male/female

socialmediaman:
If you don’t want that, do a prenup

Sadly, a lot of (new) couples see this as unnecessary

In Heaven na

If you want to share in my inheritance treat me nicely long before the inheritance ever comes.

😂 😇

In Nigeria, Naija men say blood is thicker than water and a wife is not your blood. Why on earth will you want to lay claim to a wife's inheritance? What happened to the inheritance from your own blood relatives na? The one from your father/parents in particular?

Some people would not agree with this perspective. Remember, "1+1=1"

Klass99:
Jokes apart, it doesn't feel right to lay claim to anyone's inheritance by virtue of marriage or a spousal relationship alone. If your spouse has a good heart and a decent soul, they will share a portion of their inheritance with you or use it in ways that benefits you, without you dragging their inheritance with them or forming head of house, on top of money that is not your own.

This is where the laws supporting or otherwise some of these actions or perceptions need to be clear, and hopefully fair. As the man seems to be losing everything and more

Klass99:
Will I share my inheritance with a Naija husband? That depends largely on how he has treated me in the course of our marriage. People will often respond to you the way you treat them........ and I personally like giving people a dose of their own medicine. 😝

... a classical case of prisoner's dilemma abi?

Why do you want to stress us?

No vex, na curiousity cause am.

Greetings all,
I stumbed on this https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/personalfinance/we-went-through-all-of-my-401-k-investments-i-lost-my-job-then-my-home-do-i-have-any-claim-to-my-wife-s-200-000-inheritance/ar-AA1lcaXE?ocid=NL_ENUS_A1_00010101_1_1 titled "‘We went through all of my 401(k) investments’: I lost my job, then my home. Do I have any claim to my wife’s $200,000 inheritance?"

My question is, if this happens to anyone in a similar scenario in Nigeria (or your country, if different) how does this play out or is resolved.

Have a blessed weekend.

nice writeup … only if 'they' would listen to good advise. [color=#000000][/color]

God bless and protect your soul, Justina Ejelonu ... Amen!!!

some folks just won't learn ...
