In the absence of a ‘Will’ in any polygamist’ home it becomes the community’s burden to separate the battle among family members, as to who takes what. In this particular case, whereas the first wife has only two female children, the second wife has five children all boys. The senior wife insisted that the three houses the husband left behind must be shared so that her children can inherit from their father’s wealth even after they leave. But the younger wife argued that the houses will not be shared whenever the girls marries the houses would be left for her boys and the elders of the family were in support of the younger wife’s view and the case was charged to court.
How best do you think these properties should be share?
No insult pls.

if dis happened in Naija n Igbo land precisely...........4rm wat I have learnt so far in such case...........The 1st wife wit her two female children wil stay in the house until the children get married n left but none of dem wil inherit any property.....den dat 1st wife wil still remain in the house as long as she is alive.............but the properties will be shared 2 d male children weda they are 4rm the first, second or third wife

Tell the second wife to shut up..because she had only male children and she want only hers to inherit all no..it not so....it should be share...equally The first wife was in her late man life before the second one and have be the one who have suffered for the late man..through hard times.,,so the first wife should be rewarded more of that of the second wife..

In a good family with understanding the female kids and their mother would be given 1 house even if is not the best house among the houses but the must be given 1 house except the man have written his will that the female should not be given a house then the boys would on their own have a general compensation that any of the lady who wishes to live in any of those houses with their husband would not pay house rate on the flat given to them.

this is not discrimination in igbo tradition the male children will inherit the man properties, except if the man will some to the daughters which is not the birth right of the first son. tradition is like a law it has being there b4 both are being married.
