Joint tenancy laws is a standard real property law throughout the world. I am sure it is the black letter law in Pakistan as well. Whether anyone follows it or not is a different matter. Relying on a will and relying on survivorship are two entirely different things. When you get the property by right of survivorship, you get it immediately without stepping foot into court. When you have a will, you have to go to court, get in line and go through the process of probate which can take a very long time. And we all know how ‘efficient’ the court system is in Pakistan!
And you know it’s sad how you keep missing the essence of our stance. It’s not about the money! It’s not about any insecurity! We’re all educated girls more than capable of owning property. It’s about your mentality! Once you’re married, there is no “you” and “me”…it’s about “us”.
And please don’t be concerned about our ability to live a happily married life. My husband transferred all his assets in my name as soon as we got married to protect his personal assets from the business. It never even came up as to what’s mine or yours…everything is OURS. I am not the co-owner, I am the owner of his properties that he bought with his own hard earned money!! But given your reasoning, that makes me a classic gold digger right?!
It’s funny how you reprimand others for personal attacks yet you are claiming that women who do expect to have joint ownership of at least the marital home end up getting divorced or remain single. News alert → there are tons of guys out there who don’t share the same mentality as you and us lucky girls are married to them and happily so!
