Is it permissible for a woman to ask her husband to register a portion of a project in her name as compensation for her unpaid work for years and for establishing it with her gold jewelry, especially since projects are managed poorly and household money is spent on them?

A husband is obliged to spend on his wife reasonably. He is not obliged to financially compensate her for losing her job, but he is obliged to pay her wages if she worked with him for a known wage or for a fair wage. If the wife gives her gold to her husband as a donation, she has no right to claim it back. However, if it was a loan, he must return its equivalent or its value at the time of repayment. She may ask her husband to donate a part of the project to her, unless the gold was given in exchange for participation, in which case he is bound by what they agreed upon. Both spouses must treat each other kindly and with compassion.
