A man took to his TikTok account to set things straight with siblings who feel entitled to their married brother's assets.

@sgora03_thuthukani uploaded a video, saying that a married man's assets belong to his wife and kids, not his siblings.

His statement comes from the fact that many people, especially in South Africa, have tended to start fights with the wife when the husband passes away. The man's family would claim everything, saying the wife has no right to her husband's things.

Man speaks to Briefly News about his views on marriage and assets

Speaking to Briefly News, Thuthukani said that he has decided to express his views because he has seen many women and kids being kicked out of their homes after their husbands pass away.

He said the common argument or justification that families use to claim a married man's assets is that the wife allegedly killed the husband. Thuthukani further advised people to draw up wills to avoid such situations.

"I would say all men must draft a will and divide their assets while they are still alive to prevent this confusion."

In another story, Briefly News reported about a husband who tried to cheat his wife from getting a 50/50 divorce.

Mrs M filed for divorce after over two decades of marriage. In court papers, the wife believed she was owed a 50/50 share of the joint estate because she and Mr M were married in a community of property. The man refused, saying she did not contribute anything to the house, she did not even visit her kids who were staying with him.

The woman denied that, and the kids also denied what their father was saying, and as a result, he lost the case.
