he has been cleared of the rape charge, secondly, would his wife accept to give him 50% of her life belongings if he caught her cheating? ( she's the wealthiest Spanish actress). Everybody should go with what they made in the event of a divorce kpom kwem.

Even if she didn’t want to drop money. So long as she cheats and didn’t sign a prenuptial agreement, her wealth will be split into two.
Adele did it.

Brittany Spears still pays 20k dollars every month to her ex husband for child support (her kids live with him) for over 10 years now. When billionaire women’s wealth is shared, no one shouts but when men’s wealth is shared una go dey shout gold digger even if the women is visibly comfortable and is just subject to the law. After all she born for the guy and now has to spend the rest of her life raising his kids. He is entitled to give his ex-wife at least to a life of comfort to raise his kids na. Or is he not?

Please drop your answer with reasons.

For me, I'd say his wife.
My reasons;
1. His wife takes care of his children.
2. He grows old with his wife.
3. His mum might die before him.
4. His wife is always there by him.

Lol... Lol again... Usually in Nigeria next of kin inherits liabilities but a beneficiary inherits lots of advantageous things..

Thanks for your comment.
A wife is a man's better half.

Make una stop this. She is his better half n she will find it OK to divorce the man when they have issues or little misunderstanding. Where is the place of forgiveness in the marriage. Is the money that's her problem or genuine love for her family. That woman was supposed to stand by her husband in his difficult time not to run quickly for divorce n even claiming 50% of the guy's wealth to enable her marry another man n continue her enjoyment.

It is amazing that people forget that wives eventually become mothers. That 'senseless, undeserving' wife today becomes the 'she-can-do-everything-for-me' mother of your children/someone else tomorrow.

I so much love this question...
When I keep saying that marriage is not for everybody, people keeps condemning me...
Why will you get married to someone whom you don't trust?
Don't you know that marriage is more or less for life?
If all your life you are still searching for "the one" and you haven't seen, keep searching. Don't settle for less, because questions like this you will give the wrong answer.....
Marry your friend. Marry someone who makes you smile.

In my opinion, a Man's next of kin should be his wife in everything.
A Woman's next of kin should be her husband.
Then their properties will be inherited and shared among their children legally when they(parents) die....
Simple

But the op thinks otherwise
She wants wives to be their husbands ext of kin but want first daughters to the wives next of kin. So see the biasness

@OP, I am sure you know next of kins does not mean who inherits a man's wealth or property.

Na who to call in case of emergency and in related circumstances

Why marry a greedy woman to start with when marriage should be your happy place?.
She might have pretended but this is why courtship is very important as bad character reveals itself.
do you think all the bad characters can be revealed doing courtship.. some bad behaviours stay hidden until after marriage oo

Reading your mind it seems you don't actually understand the meaning of NEXT OF KING. Your next of King is not thr per to inherit your assets if you are no more. There is different between Will and next of king. Next of king is a person to be contact in case of emergency or who will help you do what you can not do for yourself. While will is some one you authorize to benefit your property in case of your dead. I may be wrong sha

You were not wrong

20k a month is mere alimony or child support, Hakimi's wife would still get it except she loses custody of the children to him. Nothing justifies splitting anybody's life savings over divorce, cheating or not.let everybody keep what he or she made in their lifetime.

No matter how you
Relate

Understand your wife she can't be like your mother

Please don't generalize, we have lot of wives too that have that sincere and pure love for their husband even more than the man's mum...let men too be good husband and let's see if we won't appreciate and love them sincerely, of course I'm not saying we don't have bad wives too...but for me I will always wish my hubby what I wish for my self, because I have a good one..

Because the daughter will probably get married and another man's son would be taking care of her. So she'll have the time to take care if her parents. It's a simple logic

Lol. So a man's next of kin should be his wife but a woman's next of kin should be her first daughter? Isn't that hypocrisy? If a man's wife should be his next of kin, the woman's husband should be her next of kin too.

Men wrote the law. Question them not me.
Wealth is split after divorce because when you married you became one. All what you own are merged together. When you divorce, all what you own are split. That’s the law.
Hakimi doesn’t know he just condemned himself for whoever he’s going to be with next. No woman will want to have kids or settle down with a man who’s life savings is still in is his mother’s hand. This is not about teaching your wife a lesson, she’s already rich. This just shows he can’t control his life and affairs. That is not a man. That’s a baby.
Re: Who Should Be A Man's Next Of Kin Between His Mum And His Wife? by bepositive11: 9:33am On Apr 16, 2023
That is not true. Most people do not do proper due diligence. A lot of men use money to win over women. What else should they expect? Of course, if you use money to win over a woman, you will be attracting a gold digger. The same goes for women who use their bodies to win over men. It's superficial.

Most people are so busy trying to prove themselves that they forget to allow the other person to prove themselves. Those flashes you're talking about are the signs people should look out for.

habsydiamond:
most people don't show their real behaviour during courtship, that's why it's after marriage u will start seeing some attributes that u have not seen before in ur spouse once they felt they have been secured. Though atimes one might have been seeing flashes of such behaviour but won't count it. A woman or a man won't show he or she is after ur money or wealth until u tie the knot.

a million and one women would throw themselves at Hakimi, you need to realise that this guy is a Moroccan, a Muslim, most Moroccan women don't expect to take over half of a man's worth in a divorce nor do they expect to have the man exclusively to themselves. They see his Spanish wife as the devil not him. When Mikel Obi got his Russian billionaire's boss daughter pregnant, his relatives in Nigeria went to the press and made it clear that they wouldn't accept her as a wife after what her mother did to her father through divorce, the girl is still with Mikel today without getting married to him and they're happy together. You should also know that even in the USA, some states laws says that in the event of a divorce, everybody keeps what they made for themselves and only shares properties if any they bought/owned together. This 50/50 sharing is applicable only in some states and men often demand that their prospective spouses wave that right away in a prenuptial agreement, millions of women have signed that agreement. If you love a man and have no ill plans for him,why shouldn't you?

Normally if we are to go by the institution of marriage, it is sensible that your spouse should be your next of kin. This days, you should rather go with the most trusted person in your life.
