In a video by @assuage_attorneys on TikTok, the lawyer explained that the woman could get a share of her husband’s property based on some conditions.
She noted that if the woman had given birth to the child and helped in running the homes, it could be seen as her contribution to the family.
In other words, a woman’s commitment towards taking care of her family can count as a contribution, which may make her have a share of the man’s property during divorce.

She said:
“A wife can get share of husband’s property during divorce Will the court share the property of a man with his wife when in fact, she did not contribute anything?
“The answer is yes. Contribution in the eyes of the court or in the eyes of law is not just about money. If it can be shown that the woman gave birth to a child or children, maintain the family, took care of the family, while the man was out there looking for jobs and he got money to build those properties. That woman’s commitment can be seen as a contribution.”
