High Court judge Teresiah Matheka has declared that carrying a pregnancy to a full term should be considered routine work.
However, she noted that in recent times, couples have been transferring the duties to third parties, particularly surrogate mothers who are paid to bear the children on their behalf. She suggested that it should be treated as work for mothers carrying pregnancy akin to their surrogate counterparts who are contracted to do the same.
The judge also held that child-rearing and housewifery should be treated as routine work in which those partaking in it can be paid.
In the event that a couple separates, the party that is left to take care of the children should get a sizeable sum of the marital property, the judge ruled. Further, she noted that the nine months a woman carries a baby in her womb should be taken into account by judges while presiding over family disputes. Matheka was evidently in defence of full-time housewives who, in the face of separation, are left deprived of all the marital property on the grounds of them not contributing through tangible income. She argued that while a party, in this case, a husband who works, may claim ownership of the property while sidelining the wife, the latter has the rights given she spent time at home looking after the children and overseeing other family affairs. “It is easy for the spouse working away from home and sending money to lay claim to the whole property purchased and developed with that money by the spouse staying at home and taking care of the children and the family. It will be heard that the spouse at home was not employed thus they contributed nothing,” she said.
“Raising children is a full-time job that families pay a person to do. Cooking and cleaning as well. Hence, for a woman in employment who has to balance childbearing and rearing this contribution must be considered,” she added.
She was presiding over a case in which an estranged wife had sued her former husband seeking to have their marital property sold and the proceeds equally distributed amongst themselves.
WriterNig: World's richest man, Elon Musk and girlfriend Grimes have reportedly broken up.
In a statement to Page Six, Elon said, “We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms"
“It’s mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas and her work is primarily in LA. She’s staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room,” he continued.
The artist and the billionaire were together for three years after Elon slid into Grimes' DMs, apparently over their shared sense of humor about AI. The two have sparked breakup rumors before, based on their repeated unfollowing of each other.
Of course, the pair welcomed their first child together, X Æ A-Xii Musk, earlier last year. It seems like Elon is in the background of Grimes' most recent TikTok video, where she's trying to get X to call her "mama" after she revealed he calls her by her real name, "Claire."
Moral of the story. Money is not everything. We women need care and attention and not money.

Ladies should stop filming sexual intercourse and nudity with their partners – Kemi Olunloyo
Nigerian journalist and social media personality, Dr Kemi Olunloyo has advised young women not to record sexual intercourse or nudity with their partners, WonderTV Media reports.
This advice came after a Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh’s ex-lover, Prince Kpokpogri attempted to blackmail the actress with her sex tape.
The journalist who took to her Instastory to advised the ladies wrote:
“On Ms Tonto Dikeh and Prince Kpokpogri my advice is that ladies should stop filming sexual intercourse/nudity with your partners. This is the core issue of blackmail here with everyone using their past lovers against each other. It’s tacky and tasteless. Your children are watching and the internet is clicking “SAVE”
Haywhysat: Why will you hold the man for anything? The man send am? Shebi they Don break up already. What else. The man is a KING.
Let him stop posting whenever Tonto is trending. These pictures were taken on Sunday. Why post it now?
Muna4real: If you think Tonto sees all these pictures, then you must be joking. Someone that's busy with controversies and Court case would not have time to look at an ex she rejected. Those of you thinking Tonto will be jealous of these pics are being delusional.
Tonto has seen the picture even before Nairalanders saw it. Tonto his following a blogger on IG and that blogger uploaded the clips on his page. Dey thing is on Tonto's feeds.
Romanoff: My prayer for him is that this one works out.
It's not by posting pishurs.
My prayer for him is that this one crumbles even worse than the first one. He doesn't want Tonto's happiness why should I care about him? Everything Tonto said about this man is playing out.
This man is a trouble maker. Always posting about his family whenever Tonto Dikeh is emotionally down. Should anything happen to Tonto, we know who to hold.
