The husband cannot claim the property of his wife acquired before marriage

[Starmix]

Yes, the husband cannot claim the property of his wife acquired before their marriage as conjugal property. Conjugal or community property typically refers to assets acquired during the marriage through the efforts of either spouse. Property acquired before marriage usually remains the separate property of the individual who acquired it unless specific actions like commingling funds or agreements change that status.

It is not true! In marriage, whatever each person acquired before marriage is still a joined property which the husband is entitled. But you suppose to realize that laws varied according to a state, culture, traditions etc.

Though what you said makes sense but if you truly look at it, marriage is coming together to become one, which means what's yours becomes the other person's own as well.

The property or asset of the wife remains her own separate property. It's the law in my country perhaps in Nigeria different.
