There are verses in the Quran that explain how to beat your wife
yes by using a part of your clothe while wearing it eg the arm of your gown lightly like you are fanning her with it.

Keep vomitting what you have no knowledge of.
Even as a layman and I did reach about this topic ,there are three forms of marriage allowed in Nigeria;
-Customary marriage.
-Marriage in act(court marriage)
-Religious marriage(which covers Islam,Christianity et al)

By law, no one is superior to the other and if one decides to do two of the three which the man in question did then,the right of inheritance has to be done based on each marriage conditions.
Simply put,the inheritance of the man will be shared based on Islamic dictates to the Muslim wives and Thie kids and whatever remains can be inherited by the Christian wife and her kid(s).
You can't claim ownership over something when they are rightful claimants to the same thing.
She(the Christian wife) can't inherit all of his legacies(property) because by law the other wives and their kids are also heir apparent.
QED...
You're wrong fella.

You just said the 3 marriages are equal.

So what's the basis for settling the 2nd and 3rd wife before the first wife?

Besides, there's a lacune in the marriage act, if it abhors multiple wives, yet still permits the man's religious rights in same subject matter.

Except, ͏in the marriage act, no other wife will be recognised under same marriage act, until the first one is void.

Then for sharing of properties, if all marriages are valid under religion and the law, the precedence should be given to hierarchy. That means the xtian wife gets first.

The question now is...should she claim her rights under the marriage act in which she had been married, which gives her 100%?
The co-wives will also claim their rights under the religious law...sharing between 2 of them.

The man didn't leave an estate, but he did the right thing.
He married everyone the right way so as to have equal benefits in his life and death.

Furthermore, in matters of a deceased, the constitution is above customary law...only for the living, is customary honoured.

In this case, its already simple. The court will share as equal as possible, and first wife chooses first.
If the first wife wasn't married under the act, the court can still grant her right of first pick, because it has always advocated for legitimacy of marriage under the act.
To top it more, some customary marriages do not give inheritance to women...it's given to their male offspring....or shared among the living male siblings.
So the Muslim wives may even lose out on the inheritance tussle.

Hasn’t she called for violence already? I wish i can marry many wives like muslim but still thank God i am an african man to the core, many wives suit me. Na mumu man they do court wedding. Imagine after death, only your wife and children claiming all your properties leaving out your families and parents if still alive. In Africa, parents inherit children and children inherit parents, wife inherit husband and vice versa.

Beat her for what? Must everything be violent?

I have witnessed muslim sharing property, if sharia law is applied , (the wives, the children, the parents inherit base on sharing formula just that female children inherit halve of what male inherit. Islam gives female children and wives inheritance as they are dully entitled, it’s compulsory. I think muslim sharing formula is better. Imagine you have a brother that your parent suffers to train to school, after making it big in life, God forbid he dies, if the wife inherit everything with her children, tel me what’s the gain of the parents that labor hard on the husband, old parents that depends on him for survival. I will still give it to the Muslim sharing formula until other sharing formula that’s better is available.

Islam state that if you have a child who is not practicing Islam such child should be given his own inheritance as a gift before your demise and if you don't do so then nothing will reach the child when you gone whether you are the biological father of the child or not. The marriage to the wife is permissible but there is a general rule that a Muslim cannot inherit a non Muslim and vice versa
