Well, lots of people rent, especially when starting out (or for their whole lives if they don't believe in owning homes, 'cause of the mortage issue and whatnot). Or they'll live with his family sometimes, 'cause of cultural reasons, family tradition, whatever.
But if they own their own home, then why does it matter whose name it's in? I mean, if they get divorced, legally in a Western system, they'd have to split their assets, no?

Is that Islamic?
And if it is, then how can you just get through it merely by stipulating that if you request a divorce, you still get the delayed mahr?

I've heard that if someone gets their hajj payed for them but then in the future are in a position to afford the pilgrimage then they're obliged to perform it again...so many women get their husbands to give them the money for hajj and then sort it out. Has anyone else heard of this? Another thing to look up...

Cool.
Makes sense.
