I am a muslim, and in the UK. I have never think about 50-50. She hasn't been working (more than 2 years) due to child care and we are doing okay.
I gave her my salary, pay bills and we save the rest.
When she was working, we combine everything, and she holds what is left to save.
I am a muslim and a Northerner, we have never had any issue over money or I am working more.
If I had the means , wallah, I would prefer her to remain at home whilst I fend for us.
She wants to work and I will support her.
A northern man is a provider, and we don't break. Alhamdulillah, our women always come through and we don't talk about 50 50 at all.
Any amount coming to the home is for the family.
Laslty, I am an Igala man. We are strong men ๐
May Allah continue to make it easy for us.
I want to ask how do Muslim couples, especially Nigerians, who believe that itโs the manโs sole responsibility to foot all the bills, cope in the UK?
