Popular talent manager Ubi Franklin has spoken up on why he thinks many men are scared of court marriages. He recently had his say via his X handle, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, men tend to avoid legal marriages because they believe property will be split 50-50 in the event of divorce.
Ubi added that the split is not legally true; he advised that marital gifts should sometimes be bought in one’s own name or given with clear conditions attached.
His words, “Many men are scared of ‘Court Marriage’ because they have this erroneous fixation that in the event of divorce, property will be shared 50 – 50 (not legally true).
Even in customary marriages, when one of the spouses (whether male or female) meets the conditions for alimony (money), the Court will grant it.
Secondly, if you give your spouse/girlfriend/husband, or boyfriend a gift, you cannot recover it in the event of separation, unless it is accompanied by certain conditions. Sometimes buy the gift in your own name or attach conditions to it.”
WOW.
