What is the ruling on a husband refusing to register his wife's name in the land purchase contract, even though she contributed more than 60% of its price?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible for the husband to register the land ownership deed solely in his name without the wife's consent, especially if doing so leads to the loss of her right to the land. He must document what proves her ownership of her share or have it witnessed. Similarly, it is not permissible for the husband to dispose of the shared land, such as selling it, without the wife's permission and consent, as disposal of shared property is only valid with the consent of the partners.
