Talent manager Ubi Franklin has revealed why men are scared of court marriages.
On his Twitter page, he claimed that most men are scared of legally getting married due to the fear of losing everything during divorce. He said they have this erroneous fixation that in the event of a divorce, property will be split in half.
Ubi said such a statement isn’t legally true, as even in customary marriages, if one of the partners meets the conditions for alimony (money), the Court will grant it.
He added that another reason men are afraid of going to is the inability to retrieve gifts given to their spouse, unless certain conditions accompany those gifts.
“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”.
