Property ownership in a marriage, especially when one of the partners has purchased a house independently, can be a rather complex issue. A woman that goes by the name Bethany has turned to Bright Side to seek advice after she has found herself in a situation that started affecting her relationship with her spouse.

Namely, Bethany explained that after her father’s passing, she sold his apartment and some of his belongings and was left with enough money to purchase a home for herself and her family. However, her husband insisted that he had the right to co-own the place, despite the fact she had paid for it with her inherited money.
