Offshore holdings companies aren't always about tax evasion.

Sometimes they're about making sure the presumably very nice person [but also possible gold-digger] you married can't actually spend all your money.

That's the sense of "protection" they mean.

If you don't want someone spending our money, you just don't give to them. You don't need to hide money to accomplish that goal. Marriage is a joint partnership, and anyone is free to not enter into one.

That's foolish, there are any number of reasons for keeping money out of a border that aren't evading taxes.

To me it is on purpose corporate speak.
