#1 The good part of this idea is that it builds on the idea of establishing an "ownership" society rather than an "entitlement" society.

Biggest problem: The islamic idea that the daddy owns the family outright, and thus I would hear calls for enabling "daddy" to cash in on the trusts of wives and children. I forsee future hubby demanding wifey's trust as condition of marriage. Forbidding pre-adults and their parents from cashing in would probably benefit the sons, but I don't see daughters benefitting

#2 In Iraq, it would end up being more a tribal ownership than an individual one. Then again, with fewer 'owners' to deal with, that might prove better and more effective for the Iragi government.
