However, it was allegedly revealed that the majority of Hakimi’s assets were registered under his mother’s name, leaving Abouk with no share in the PSG player’s earnings. Below are some responses of contributors on this topic:Elizabeth PetersMy reaction to finding out that my husband had put his assets in his mother’s name would be one of deep hurt.

So, if eventually I discover after marriage that his assets are in his mother’s name, I would definitely feel betrayed by the man I thought I knew. I believe it is not as if he saw it coming for him to transfer all his assets to his mother.
