I have 2 years younger brother who have met his girlfriend and married her before I had my own permanent relationship.
At first his new wife was nice and everything went well... until I broke up with my first serious relationship.
My parents did not accept the woman I was with that time and when my relationship started to go down they contacted to their lawyer and changed their will about inheritance. Me and my brother will still get full what belongs to us, but in any circumstance any of our spouse, past present or future one will not.
That changed the attitude of my brother's wife instantly. Before the charming lady turned cold and withdrawing. I started hearing very strange accusations towards me and my parents how we are unfair and boasting our money but not willing to spare it evenly.
Once she openly asked that where are we hiding our millions?
What millions? even our all wealth together we don't reach a million.
Then I heard that his wife who had been baptized before, said that it was only rite to be formally accepted in family, but in real she believes in ancestral spirits. when they had their kids I have only seen the older.

Both parents deny me and my parents to see younger one and (his wife as I assume) is speaking evil to their older kid. Luckily they still sometimes are allowed to babysit her when her parents need such. Last weekend however as I have heard she behaved like seen a ghost when they ended up same room in a church with my mom.
My brother also is heavily restricted to keep contact to his relatives with exception our aunt and grandma so the only way to hear things from him or even chit chat is when he calls from secret away from home. And even then I barely hear anything what's really going on in their family.

Trough other people I have heard that there are series of arguing in their family and some people are even started to guess that if the spouse of my brother would find any rich single man she would probably dump my bro over him.

He is working but because his wife his performance is barely acceptable, (and his boss have told that he hates his wife). Also the company is in trouble which may result some people losing their job or ultimately closure the whole company unless they find good new direction and young one to lead it.

My brother is very kind hearted man who unfortunately is not blessed with gift of leadership and he avoids to the last the conflict. So far he have let his wife run things in the family because of that. Im really worried where this kind of situation will lead him and their children.

Me, my family and my brother are all Christians. Also he seem to try to grow his children that way too which is good, BUT I'm worried about the influence of his wife who in heart is not.

Regarding the money issue.

Not sure what the inheritance laws are like in Finland.

But here in the U.K, sons and daughters inherit from their parents.
and husbands inherit from wives and wives inherit from husbands.

Money doesn’t legally pass from the in-laws to a spouse, unless specifically set out
in a will, even then it can be contested if other family members feel the will is unfair.

We are praying, but consult a lawyer. Usually those who challenge a will give up their part in it.
