The conversation surrounding popular TikToker Peller and his wife, Jarvis, has taken a fresh turn after a lawyer weighed in on fears that a court marriage could put a man's property at risk.
Since news of the couple's statutory wedding emerged, some Nigerians have argued that marrying under the Marriage Act gives a wife automatic rights to her husband's assets if the marriage later crashes.

However, lawyer and marriage advocate Stella Justice has dismissed the claim, insisting that many people are reacting based on misinformation rather than legal facts.
"Court marriage is not a trap"
Reacting to criticisms directed at Peller, Stella Justice questioned why many people were quick to mock the content creator for choosing a court wedding.
According to her, a statutory marriage is not designed to strip a man of his property.
She explained that the law protects both spouses and does not automatically transfer ownership of a husband's assets to his wife simply because they are legally married.
Addressing the growing concerns, she stated that many people fear court marriage because they do not fully understand what the law says.
What happens if the marriage ends?
The lawyer further clarified that in the event of a divorce, property disputes are not decided by emotions, rumours or social media commentary.
Instead, courts consider the law and the specific facts surrounding each case before reaching a decision.
