I really want to buy a house so I can have a place of my own that’s in my name only. That way, if I ever get divorced, it would still be mine. After the honeymoon, I’ll start looking into it, and my husband will pay for it.
For me it was the opposite. As a married couple we had a house almost paid for. But then in the divorce we both had to get large mortgages again.
I bought out her half of the house and now have a mortgage as big as our initial starting price 20 years ago, that doesn’t get paid off until I’m like 80. So that didn’t work so well
Of course now I also have enough equity to buy a house in most of the country. So there’s definite upside
Of course. I’m young, I don’t work, and I have to look out for myself. I already received a substantial mahr when I got married, which I gave to my family to invest since I’m not knowledgeable about that kind of thing. I also had it written into my marriage contract that my husband must deposit a set amount into my personal savings account every month, among other provisions. Saudi Arabia is a man’s world, women have to be smart if they want to thrive.

You want your husband to buy you a house to keep after you divorce him?
Yikes.
