Wrong except of course she wants to do it willingly.

I don't think anyman would change the names on his properties to that of his wife.

Worst is to add his name to the documents if he has also done so to his own.

I really don't think the man should force her to do so. With time she could do so. However, the truth is whether she changes the name or not, if you are married under the Marriage Act in Nigeria, the Marriage presupposes that whatever a Spouse holds in his/her name is held in trust for the other Spouse. You can only escape this if you are married under Customary Law.

I am a (married) man and any woman who does that is a f00l. Why should a woman change the title of a property she bought to her husband's name? Because the law forbids a woman to own a property?

well, she bought it before they got married, so I believe it can still pass as a harmless secret, I mean it's not like she bought it when they were married (when married no more secrets)

you are right but you also shouldnt HIDE anything from your partner... starting marriage life with dishonesty will only lead to failure.

Lol

just imagine Linda ikeji husband asking her to do that..


If I jam and marry Linda Ikeji, she go change am without force. It will be a natural progression. After all, she changed her surname to mine, or at least added mine to hers. Once she drops the first child, the rest will follow. Even Linda knows that if she marries an Igbo man.

I won't necessarily "hide" it from him, I won't even talk about it. It's a different thing for him to ask me if I have a land, and I say no (now, this is deceit and not being honest ) but in a situation where I don't talk about it or let it known, he won't have any idea that such exist, and I don't think that is dishonesty.

nice one, also implies that whosoever owns the property owns it for the family.
In my rightful sense, I will never ask that of my wife and will never encourage any lady to do such. The husband has a vicious agenda

Let's say she has malaria( cheesy) now, she didn't tell him about it because he did not ask.. she goes to the hospital for treatment, and act as tho she never had malaria, will you regard that as lying as well?

i guess if thats what you believe, BUT let us reverse the case for a minute..... and imagine that your husband had a kid before marriage, and since he didnt talk about it or let you know, you wouldnt know that the child existed. wouldnt you think that this is dishonesty?!

I won't as long as I NEVER get to know and so long as the child's essence never come up.
So its just as good as saying there is no child.. (ignorance )
But really, you can't compare a child senario with this na, that's an unfair case comparism

You don't have to change the property to his name. The property is already his when you are married under the law (Marriage Act). To the issue of whether you will tell him or not, one of the challenges we have in this generation is that we use less grievous words for bad things to make it less frightening. e.g Adultery, we say it is extra-marital affair. Adultery sound frightening, while EMA sounds cool. The truth is when you are married to someone and you have something that you are not telling him/her either by omission or commission, the appropriate word is DECEIT. It is one of the factors that scatter marriage like fast. If you can by omission not tell him/her about your property, then you can do same if you had a child before marriage.

I won't ask her for such thing and I wouldn't encourage her to if she has the intention. But if she insist, I will ask her to put it in our son's name. Lobatan

Well yes because the culprit is going the extra mile to omit those information, in your case it's a bit mild compared to Conspiracy of Silence. then again i see no big deal telling someone about properties, but for you hiding it might have it's positive side, because I have watched enough CSI and Law and Order to know husbands can kill their wives just to get their hands on her property.

why are you so bent on getting someone else's property, are you planning to murder someone and take over because that's one of the scenarios it usually leads to.
