The answer

If a wife spends on her husband voluntarily, she has no right to demand it back. However, if she spends with the intention of being reimbursed, she has the right to demand it. If she claims this, she takes an oath and is entitled to reimbursement for what she spent. Her right is established even if the husband was in financial difficulty at the time of the expenditure.
