Hello, I will be marrying my fiance in January and permanently moving to Tunisia also. Once married, I will open a bank account, probably a foreign and Tunisian account to buy a house for us...... as I want our privacy as newlyweds and don't want to stay on the family compound/ house. My question is if the bank account is in my name only, can my husband access it , or will I need both names on account for him?
Second question has to do with the property. I don't even want to think like this, but in case of divorce, would my husband have a claim or half claim to the property? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
for the bank account just open it alone he can't access it
For the house , in the contract of marriage choose the option of property separation so any property acquired during the marriage ( after divorce GOD forbid ) will not be able to claim or half claim
don't forget to use a trusted lawyer from a list provided from your embassy
Hope you long happy life in our country
