Is it permissible to place the father, who has suffered a psychological trauma that affected his mind, under interdiction, given that his second wife is managing his money and registering some of his properties in her name without regard for the rights of the children, and the father is neglecting the family's financial affairs?

It is permissible to place an interdiction on a father if his mind has deteriorated and he is no longer capable of managing his wealth properly. His legal capacity should be referred to the court to consider his case. It is obligatory for a person of means to spend reasonably on those whose maintenance is incumbent upon him. If he refuses to do so and advice is ineffective, there is no harm in litigating against him.
