The answer

The list of movable assets is the mahr (dowry), and the wife is entitled to it in full after consummation of the marriage. If it has not been given to the wife, it is a debt owed by the husband. If you swear before the judge that it is a debt owed by the husband, then you are truthful. However, if you say that it is a deposit with him, and you did not entrust it to him as such, then this is a forbidden lie and impermissible, even if it is a means to prove a right. Matters of dispute are referred to the court.
