um.

you know that any assets earned BEFORE marriage is owned by you and your family/siblings right?

big big big different.

even if the girl knew this passive income, she has no right to it, because it is earned before marriage, and hence, your side of the family has higher priority of this ammount.

However, i do agree that salary and active income is important to know before marriage

current salary and income ammount is important, because its a shared asset in marriage. both spouses have the right to each other current income.

however, passive asset belongs to you and your parents/siblings, not her.

TLDR:

Assets and future passive income earned before marriage of a person : belongs to the person and the person's family cluster
Active income and future income earned : belongs to the couple as shared assets
Assets purchased after marriage : belongs to the couple as shared assets.

same goes to the girl

you're not supposed to use passive income for post-marriage spending.

this money belongs to you and your family. as an eldest son, its my role to keep a healthy amount of property and assets so that i can back my parents if something happen to them.

This money is not meant to be spent for post-wedding expenditure, because its not sustainable.

we should always live within our means.

That means, living within the means of the combined income of a married couple.

imagine if a married couple earn RM10000 combined and spend RM14000 a month just because the guy or girl has an extra house. this doesnt make sense at all, and is not prudent at all.
