His wife ofcourse! But it also depends on the kind of wife he married sha. There are some career wives in the abroad who specialize in marrying well to do men with the goal of divorcing and inheriting wealth within the shortest time possible. If a man jams a woman like that, better to protect himself like Hakimi(the foreign footballer mommy's boy) did. He can pay her child and spousal support o, her children should have access to their father and his properties o, settle her in a comfy home o but she shouldn't have to take half his properties. Everyone should work for their living biko.

Why should anyone get married with divorce in mind?

The answer you post ain't correct the next of kin should be his kids, because wife can divorce and marry another man .so when your wife is your next of kin and you both divorce she and you share your property half each she will spend her share with her new lover that the reason i say his kids should be his next of kin

Please drop your answer with reasons.

For me, I'd say his wife.
My reasons;
1. His wife takes care of his children.
2. He grows old with his wife.
3. His mum might die before him.
4. His wife is always there by him.

What if the wife files for divorce nko? Now use the money to go and flex with another man?

That's an everlasting emotional torture that every man should avoid at ALL COST.

My Mother ofcourse. Me and my wife can fall out over any small or big issue at any time and she will start claiming my property. Mother is for life and she will always love unconditionally. Hakimi did a wise thing there.

It depends. If women could be trusted, then your wife ought to be your next of kin, but if u die, ur wife will remarry and transfer everything to her new husband. At times, it's better u make your loyal Dog your next of kin

You all want a man to use his wife as next of kin…but have u ever asked who a woman will use as her next of kin… i can beat my chest that 90percent of women will never use thier husband as next of kin…so why should the man use u as his next of kin… its best if you use your kids as next if kin with the wife put in care of it till they are 18yrs old

It all depends the kind of wife you marry
Did you marry her when you are super rich?
She might want to kill you and take all your wealth I have seen it happen many times with my eyes. Wife tried to poison husband because husband have many children before her .

If you and your wife build up together she deserves to be next of kin but for me I will use my kids just in case no me tomorrow and my wife remarry my kids will have something to fall back on .

It depends on the culture and the laws of the land. It has to be someone who you'd want and would likely protect your interests.
In Nigeria, it's likely your wife, because she will take care of herself, children and immediate interests than some uncle or brother coming in to chase your family out because of some tradition.
In the Western world, with the laws favouring divorce and feminism(in its hideous version), its likely your mother.

No insult, but who is your father next of kin, is it his wife or his mother?
Some wife are good some are devil incarnate, if your wife is the former, you life will be a blessing, if it's the later, then you feel as if you're the most unlucky man on health.
If you don't trust your wife to be your next of kin, use your child.
Ask yourself. Can your wife make you her next of kin?

Wives should be next of kin and also heir to their husbands' properties.

The son.. if he’s above 15..

The sister .. if the son is below 15

Brother .. of the boy is below 15

Wife .. 25 years after marriage .

Mother .. a big No.

She can’t run her family and mine.

You may hate wives, but abeg, remove brother and sister! They will use your sweat to take care of their own family while your children suffer! Whatever you give the wife will go to your children because of the mother's unconditional love. At the end, we just don't want our children to suffer

Wife. Because the owner and institutor of the institution of marriage says so

Matthew 19:5
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?


Bible didn't mention wealth or money,, as long as the man is doing his duty (providing) in the house as the head of the house the wife should be ok with that.

If she is a wife indeed because nowadays some marry their enemy as either wife or husband. If in doubt, ask brother Samson.

You are right, but ladies/women of nowadays will speed up your death when they know that you make them an heir in case of your demise.

For me, my child is my heir while he/she is still under 18, my brother will be the one to pilot the affairs till s/he is 25.

A man's next of kin is supposed to be his wife

In Nigeria, we don't have the kind of mentality the whites have,
Where by their wife goes after wealth and gain 50% of a man's property

In Nigeria we have rooted culture that expects the wife to remain in the marriage and work together to support the husband and also contribute to the growth of the family

The Government of the foreign countries, has a way of training another man's child incase of nonsense Happenings and even adopt the child, their government cares for them too

But in Nigeria if the father fails the mother is not expected to fail too because those children are looking up to their parents

It depends.. if u see ur wife as a greedy individual it possible not to use her as ur next of kin.. I have seen situation where ladies attempt or even kill their husband because of wealth.. if one have a legal wife with good qualities that's the best.

Very simple, God bless you.
It depends on the kind of wife a man married.
And also on the type of mother one has

Leech mentality.

What if the kids aren't his?
What if the wife divorces him, and remarries the real father in situation of bastard kids?
What if the woman kills him solely for the purpose of his money/wealth?
What if the wife is worse in character than the mother?


You stereotyped in making your conclusions and it revealed your weakness.
