I do not think Igbo women inherit land in their village. I believe wives can farm on their husbands' lands though if Nollywood uncles don't take it from them.

I doubt culture stops an Igbo man/woman from adding their offspring to their wills (for non-landed properties in the village).

Truthfully, everyone's experience is dependent on their families and husbands.

No matter how restrictive Hausa's culture can be, no one can stop Dangote from handing over his empire to his daughters if he so wills.

First of all, please list those places where married women can inherit properties.
Single unmarried daughters could be given an inheritance, but I'm not so sure about the married ones.

Is this happening to someone you know?
If so, where?

I'm interested...

Hi Nairalanders,

What is your opinion on this topic.

In a situation where a woman receives some inheritance from her father or a share of her late father's property, is she expected to hand over her inheritance (money) to her husband?

Married folks over to you. Women, how will you handle your inheritance? Men, how do you expect your wives to handle her inheritance?

Majority of Yoruba do give their daughters, married or not, part of their inheritance. Infact, from my own side, Ijebu, it is SHARED equally or as the father willed.... Infact, the daughter's children sef have rights in that house....

...to the question. Such questions arises when marriages are faulty. When greed, distrust and selfishness reign in marriages. Personally, in a functional marriage, such issue doesn't need serious deliberations. Your parents are mine and mine are yours!

In my family, except if unmarried, inheritance are given to couple because they are regarded as a whole, so "ogun baba wa ni"... and that is why, the duty to your spouse's parents are non-negotiable.


However, in case of concern and cause for fear... a MAN will not put eyes into his wife's inheritance and he isn't expected to claim rights. It is at the discretion of a WISE wife to extend this hand of fellowship to the husband. But with the crop of current irresponsible guys in town... na war o

[s]Minds like these are the once that will even chase their last brothers' wife out of his late husband's house leaving her with the children homeless and claim the properties. How could you even think of something or ask such a stupid question? So women no be human beings abi? I'm sure you're from there east.

My wife is the only person that inherited the only land her grand mother has whereas she's just the last born of the family. At some point she wanted to sell the land and give me the money but I declined telling her not to. That's somewhere in Eco state.[/s]
