Then there is the halacha that all of a wife’s money/property (acquired after marriage) belongs to the husband (Bava Kama 87a).
Yes, but she can opt out of that if she wants. It’s her option — not her husbands. She can decide if it’s more advantageous to her if her husband supports her or if she keeps her own money. I’d say *she* has the upper hand here, not the husband — who does not have the option.
And that only brothers (and not sisters unless there are no brothers) inherit their father. (Bamidbar 27:8 and S”A CM 276:1)
True — but unmarried sisters can petition the estate for support — and their claim comes *before* that of any brothers/sons. And, the wife’s claim for the Kesuba also comes before any brothers/sons can inherit.
