Next is to argue they are entitled to not less than half of all wealth accumulated by hubby since marriage.
But what if you hired domestic managers?

That is nothing new. Marriage is expensive and one of the most risky contracts

High Court judge Teresia Matheka has declared that being a housewife should be considered a full-time job.
The judge, who was presiding over a matrimonial property dispute, said that it was rather unfair for courts to rule that housewives have no significant contribution to the financial progression of a family.
Justice Matheka opined that housewives offer full-time services at home and should not regard themselves as jobless.
She further argued that it was unfair to use visible income and the mindset that one has to dig deep into their pockets during the marriage to evaluate their financial value.
“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 of the children and the family. That spouse will be heard saying that the other one was not employed so they did not contribute anything.
“Raising children is a full-time job that families pay a person to do as well as cooking and cleaning. Hence, for a woman in employment who has to balance childbearing and rearing this contribution must be considered,” she said.

Conflict of interest?? She should recuse herself as a woman.

Marriage is 50-50 at least going by the vows. Unless there is a pre-nap.
The court should just make that a hard rule...
No need for all these common sensical cases to clog court system...you do not need a court to know marriage is 50-50 - doesnt matter if you win a lottery - it's 50-50.
The basic structure of 50-50 is the couple promise to share everything...you cannot quantify things couple do together...all the wealth created together...even if one was absent is 50. Even if the wife get sick...goes into comma...come back 20yrs later...and want a divorce..she get 50 percent. The same for husband.
Even Kispigis culture recognise that - even if you wife disappears as long as you did not divorce..it's 50-50.
to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, 'til death do us part, according to God's ordinance; and thereto I pledge thee my troth.
