Is it permissible for the husband to compel his wife to give electrical appliances, which were wedding gifts to her, to the husband's family after they move to a new house?
In Islam, a woman has independent financial autonomy. What she acquires through a gift or other means is her property, and a man is not permitted to take it from her, or compel her to gift it to his family, or dispose of it without her consent. Otherwise, that would be a forbidden aggression. It is also forbidden for him to force her to give any of these gifts to his family, unless she consents. This is the jurisprudential ruling. However, there should be flexibility from both parties in dealing with rights to preserve the marital relationship.
