am trying to save our marriage, after all ,she own everything am working for. SIR, IN AS MUCH AS YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE, I THINK IT'S WISE WE PUT SUCH SENSITIVE ISSUE IN THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE. "IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD THE TRUE DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE DIFFERS FROM AS OPTAINED IN THE WESTERN WORLD - MARRIAGE HERE MEANS BEING JOINED IN ALL THINGS, WHEREAS IT COULD MEAN BEING JOINED FOR A PARTICULAR TIME AND REASON ELSEWHERE". SO I THINK THE REAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE TO 'YOU' DETERMINES YOUR INVESTMENT ACTIONS TOO

U need to calm down, about the bolded part.... Is a wrong move, imagine the husband doing things without carrying the wife along...

Marriage is an important institution that no matter how civilised we claim to have become, the man and the
woman knows their place
Did you read the last part of my post?

Clap for ur self...ADVISER....i am sure ur still single.
Single and having the life of a party.

I have met too many unhappy married women to understand that the only thing they enjoy in their marriage is the title 'married'.

Besides, I wasn't advising, I dropped my opinion.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in her buying a property in her name.. So long as she's also helping out d man for d family's sake.. Ladies and their "My money is my money and his money is our money" mentality need to grow up
Very foolish mentality for that matter.95% of ladies can not spend money on their husbands or things in the house .Every finance spent in the house must be from the man.After all the things the man has done, yet you will build or buy a house without telling him .Then you will come here and say you love him.Which kind dirty love be that? Trash!

Is there anything wrong with a wife buying a property in her name?

To me, I think many of we ladies and married women misbehaves whenever we are privilege to have some properties. So I think it's better to let our husband aware of any steps we want to take.. Some men will even approved and support it.

Guys let's hear your opinion, let others learn from your views.
In her name or in the family name angry

This usually happens when a working class married woman does not contribute anything to the house while banking her money and being a leech to the stupid man.
For me it's a signal of divorce that we may not be in it forever

Women please buy as many properties as you canin your SOLE name. , buy in your full names please. MRS titi Abubakar not Mr and Mrs Abubakar.....they may be a second Mrs Abubakar in the future, like Jennifer is also Mrs Abubakar.

Whether the man you are married to supports, agrees or is even aware is irrelevant. Buy it ohhhhh.
I have been married for almost 15years to a truly wonderful man who is also VERY imperfect in many ways!!!

Dont buy in your brothers name cos you areonly enriching your brother and his own immediate family.

I have seen and will see more to validate my views. I have assets in my name alone and infact, only tell hubby after purchasing. But i also have a will that indicates all my estate to my children.


Dont listen to any inlaw, pastor or Imam that says otherwise rather speak with wives who have atleast a decade of marriage lessons in them.

If you are married to an egoistic dream killer that believes you acquiring properties will make his blokos shrink, please buy without his knowledge, take your documents and keep in the bank for storage!! Keep buying and preserving the docs in the banks vault.
Dont allow him pressure you to add his name to your property, if he so desperately wants a propertt he should buy
You don't have a husband...lol you are just leaving with a man

There's nothing wrong with that. Every human being has a right to invest in properties just like stocks and others.

In a good relationship, her husband will know about it and even assist her in every way.
Usually, when there's no trust, if a man has other wives or mistresses and if a man spends recklessly, a woman may become secretive about such ventures to safeguard her interest.
you ppl will always put the blame on the man.smh

I wonder why all these topics of what women should do or not do. Like women are not humans capable of making decisions.

There will be properties in our names.
There will be lots of properties in my sole name. Any man that thinks I will buy every thing in our names is highly delusional.
You can buy the world in your name but discuss it with your man and agree before proceeding.... simple

Hope u know this marriage thing is over rated, is not by force to marry, u can just focused on your life and achieve your dreams.... A man doesn't need to be part of it
Since it is over rated then there should be no need for this topic after all she can focus on her dreams and buy all the properties in the world
Re: Is There Anything Wrong With A Wife Buying A Property In Her Name? by mark2sunny(m): 8:04am On Jan 20, 2019
First check what you value most and decide. Your marriage or properties. The circumstances behind your marriage might be a leading factor. Like some ladies go ahead and marry a man whose not in love with them for obvious reasons.

You'll not need marriage or these properties when you leave this world so chose wisely. How we raise our kids is important. The values you have account 70% of your upbringing.

A wife is a wife, a husband is a husband. If you are Mrs and you don't honor the Mrs, you may loose it with time. God has his reason for putting resources in your hands. But when you start acting like it's by your power, you may lose them. Be the wife you expect your kids to be to their husbands and wives. Money will come and go. One I'll health can render the richest poor in a few years.

If a husband can buy a property in his name so can a wife.

She doesn't even need his consent or support except she feels like it.

A woman will misbehave because she has the tendency to not because of some properties she acquired.

If a husband would not let his wife know of any step he wishes to take he doesn't even deserve to know about his wife business.

kevyngbash:
the woman should not buy a land or house in her name. it should be in both their names if there is love in the home. we are talking about a home. in case the man dies, for example, the woman still have her property and the othr way around. i think that one of the main reason a married woman may want to buy a priperty in her name will be to avoid the husband family wahala in case the man is no more.
A marriage will most likely experience serious turmoil if a woman acquires property on her own. for me thats not a marriage except the man okays it for their reasons.

that said, some marriages are in perculiar situations. as long as the man is put in the know and plan from conception, both of them can agree to use only the womans name.
the normal thing to do is for both man and woman to use their names afterall they have sworn to live together for better or for worse.
The bolded is also a major factor. Some husbands even purchase some properties in their wives name only because of this reason.
For some of those evil relatives joint ownership with their son still wont prevent them from wreaking their havoc.

When a lady married she's automatically have the husband name.. it would be soo wrong for a wife to buy property and excludes her husband name (name)

You and I know there's no way her name will be amongs the husband name nah..

But as a sensible good husband definitely using "I want to buy" should change to "we wants to buy".
There are husbands that buy properties in their name, it is 'i' and not we. if my husbands name is mattew, i'll use mrs Gloria mattew, very simple

Do you know why my parents still live in a rented apartment after 38 years if marriage?

My “submissive” mum always sort consent, which she was never given! And her bible told her to “submit”, so all her years of marriage, she submitted to the man's will. My dad? Never saw the need to buy a land, build a house, go to good schhols etc because his bible told him to be “content”.

38 years after, REGRETS everywhere. Lol

Consent my foot! I may notify you (depending on how you sail our ship) but I cannot allow you to drag me backwards. Impossible!

Acidosis:
Any property she acquires before marriage is technically hers and such can remain in her name. In marriage, whatever anybody buys, remains in our collective names. If we don't buy in our collective name (Mr & Mrs.), then we buy in our children's name(s).
If you want to acquire properties in your own name and surname, please do before marriage.

I'm not preparing for a doom. If 19 out of 20 homes break on a per second basis, my views still won't change. No room for selfishness, self-centeredness, arrogance and evil plots from either side.
I pity the woman who will marry you or that have married you.

Some men are inhibitors, some are enhancers
Some are glory suppresor(they talk you out of whatever they feel will make you shine)
Some want the best for you, some want the best for you as long as you dont grow more than them once it seems you are shining they become resentful.
Some are laid back they need someone to push them to do almost everything. Wife has to push and push
Some want you to get to your full potentials.
Some are plain evil


Orishirishi dey ooo
Know the kind of man you married and deal accordingly shikena.
