Joint Ownership of Property

What do you guys think of couples owing property jointly? I have this friend of mine who is confused right now. His wife insists that she wants his and her name to appear in the title deed of a plot they bought recently. The guy paid for the plot fully and the wife just contributed some amount of money for processing the transfer and the title deed.

Tuliwakataza mambo ya shiny eyes. Huyo ni business partner sio wife.

Haha…I get you now

That right there was his argument. Why does she insist that she co-owns the piece of land yet by the fact that they are married and have a daughter she’s by all means a co-owner of the property

There’s some piece of information I think I left out and I think it’s crucial to know. The said property is located in the lady’s ancestral county. Also the lady saw how her mum faced greedy brother in-laws once the husband passed away. Her mum’s husband had the same arrangement with her mum where they co-owned their propoerty so depsite all the dramas of the in-laws the propoerty belongs to her mum. I guess that’s shey she has that fear.

Genesis 2:24
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

This here should be enough guidance for those who follow the bible.
