Married Men: Who's Your Next Of Kin And Why? by Nobody: 10:11am On Apr 23, 2013
I was at my aunt's place yesterday and she told me her marriage is crumbling... She has been married for 12yrs and the marriage is blessed with three kids(2boys and a girl). Herself and her husband are having some issues as regards who should be his next of kin and who shouldn't. Before they got married, her husband had been using his immediate younger brother as his next of kin. Now that he's married, my aunt expects that to change. She said her husband ought to have changed his next of kin to their first born who is a boy and 10yrs of age. Since I'm not experienced in such, I didn't know what to say or who's side to take. Please married folks, why do you think the husband is insisting on using his younger brother as his next of kin? Do you think he has a hidden agenda? Or is he scared about the paternity of their son? My aunt is feeling insecure and they fight over it everyday.

My next of kin is my wife. And that's because, we are "one". She is 'me', I am 'her'. Or she is 'i' and I am 'she' angry undecided

Your aunt is making a huge mistake fighting about next of kin with her husband .. The more, she fights him, he will start thinking she is planning to kill him and inherit his properties or bank accounts... She should relax, talk to him subtly on why he still chose his brother when. He has children..issues like this , we use wisdom and tact in handling it... Not fight or by force.... And lastly she shud pray abt it.. And also does she have her own business? Or is she working?

He has kids yet used his brother? Has he found out who the brother uses as his own NOK? I won't be surprise if its her girlfriend.
If he doesn't trust his wife, what about the kids? Don't they look like him?

From my own perspective, next of kin should not just be anyone but someone who can take up responsibilty in time of the need,having a child does not mean he/she can be a next of kin.e.g a minor being use as a next of kin may not be so right in my opinion in some circumstance.

A wife is allowed to be next of kin only after she has proven her worth or mettle usually after a period of 15 - 20 years. else it has to be your mum. Mums are like next to God, they never fail you.

Lol! He's not my hubby jor... I'm not married (he's my aunt's hubby). From my own perspective, I think a man's wife should be his next of kin. But my aunt is fighting for her space in the home. God forbid, if anything happens to the hubby, his family may come and chase her out and start claiming properties. And with his kind of family I know they can do it cos they don't like my aunt they never wanted their son to marry her cos she's a christian and they are muslims. Even my family didn't want my aunt to marry the guy, but she insisted. Sincerely, I'm scared of these muslims o, they can do and undo when it comes to fighting over a
dead man's property; especially when they don't like the wife.

@kofsy this is NKan be , as far as am concerned the children should be the next of kin and not the wife. the bible has said it light and darkness should not cross path since your aunt choose to pitch her tenth in the devils den then her problem just began why should a christian lady marry a muslim man for Gods sake ? This is so wrong muslim people vex if una wan vex christian should marry christian and muslim should marry muslim ...

If you are married it should be your wife or kids and not your parents. cos no parents wants their children to die before them, it should be someone who will inherit or stand on ur before when u are no more...

the children should be the next of kin and never should the wife be , this way the wife is protected by the children r u trying to tell me they will throw or abandon their mother if they are next of kin but if the woman is next of kin and she re marries don't you think the kids might lose out , some women are gullible and can do anything just to please a man by giving out all they own to the new boyfriend or husband once again the children should be next of kin

50calibre: A wife is allowed to be next of kin only after she has proven her worth or mettle usually after a period of 15 - 20 years. else it has to be your mum. Mums are like next to God, they never fail you.

Then She too has to see her Dad as Her next of kin till you prove yourself for 15 to 20 years.

Even Mothers will call their Husbands next of Kin.

A suitable Husband will seek and attract a suitable wife and they shall become one and no human being can come between their midst.

For this reason, a man will leave His father and Mother and cling to His wife(Genesis 2:24). Any other philosophy on that matter is human wisdom that can fail.

Also, to answer you, some Mothers fail their children. How will you define a mother that left a six months old baby with a one and half older brother. Such children will grow up then find a wife, then Mummy shows up, I am a mother and I cannot fail you.He can only forgive such Mum.
