Does the husband have the right to demand the expenses for the last year of college, knowing that she was in his home and under his care, and that the duration of the marriage was only one year and two months?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

University tuition fees are not considered an obligatory expenditure for the husband towards his wife, unless this was stipulated before the marriage contract.

If the husband pays these fees voluntarily, he is not permitted to reclaim them, because it is considered a gift, and a gift to the wife cannot be revoked, by analogy with kinship.

However, if he spent with the intention of reclaiming it, he is permitted to do so, provided he swears that he spent it with the intention of recovering it, and that the wife had money at the time of the expenditure. Otherwise, he has no right to reclaim it.
