A husband taking money from his wife depends on the condition set by the granting authority:
1. If the government grants it to the woman alone, then it is her right, and the husband is not permitted to take it except with her permission.
2. If the government grants it to the woman and her family, then the husband may take it and spend from it.
The condition set by the granting authority must be known to rule on the matter.
