If you divorce your wife, you must forfeit your house to her, see the new court rules in Nigeria


A woman that has children for her husband and had married him before a house is built has the right to live in the house with her children even after divorce under the provisions of the Married Woman Property Act 1882, a court held on Friday in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The belief that patriarchy is so entrenched in the Nigerian system and women have no rights even under the law has been proved to be an erroneous one, majorly propounded by those ignorant of the rights provided under the law, the court said in a landmark judgement.

The provisions of the *Married Woman Property Act 1882* formed the basis of the pronouncement of the Chief Judge of Oyo State, Justice Munta Abimbola, on Friday in a property suit between a divorced couple, Toyin Arajulu, formerly known as Mrs Toyin James and her former husband, Mr James Monday.

The court held that *“a husband who marries a wife and builds a house during the pendency of the marriage stands the risk of losing that house if he later divorces the woman who had children for him unless such woman, of her own volition, leaves the matrimonial home.”*

Lol to be honest I am not the man that will build a house just like I'm waiting for heavy rain to start my foundation and a woman I marry will take my house from me. This is real funny. A woman that has spent all her years on embellishments with nothing useful to her name except Brazilian head and pubic hairs lol while i toil morn afternoon and night. Lol It's not just possible. That judge that's telling me to leave my house for such worthless woman is a joker and should be in the cliques of akpos and bovi

You mean out of all the 3.5 billion women in the world, you chose a worthless woman?

It says more about you than her.

1. All those things you said she has to her name were the same things that attracted you to her.
2. A woman that marries you, cooks for you and takes care of that same building you called a house worth more than "Park and get out" how will your repay her for all she did?
For your information, you give a woman a house and she will always make it into a home and if the woman has refused to do such for you, check yourself or your character.

proclinician:
And a judge will look me in the eyes and tell me to pack my bags and leave my house for her to occupy. You're not serious man. Basically these artificial hairs and embellishment won't attract me to a wife. it's just the fact that she can be a mother u know, with uterus and vagina and breasts. that's that about that.

Fhemmmy:
Lol . . .It was NEVER your home except if it was build before you marry her and if you want the property to remain yours, them sign it into law before you marry her . . .If it was built after you married her, it is her home too bros. . . And if the woman started doing artificial hair after marrying you and you never complain, why now complain after you want her to park and go?

Daverichie008:
You don't understand, do you? She can be paid alimony or settlement. The house is not for the man you say, so it's for the woman abi? The law is saying you'll have to forfeit the house to the woman. You build a house with your sweat and lose it to a woman by the virtue of being married to her? That's bleeped up. And more crazy because Nigeria is filled with fake fraudulent people.

Fhemmmy:
Turn the table, imagine you are a woman, working so hard to make the home work out, taking care of the kids while the man is busy doing other stuff, you fed the man and care for him, and now he kicks you out with NOTHING
