What is the ruling on the wife's mother taking utensils from the marital home without permission, claiming she replaced them with three others? Is the husband's statement: "This is mine and my house, not yours, and you have no right to approve or object," legally sound? Does the wife legally have no right to anything in the marital home because it is from the husband's money? What is the ruling on the husband forcing his wife to sell her belongings that her family brought for him, or to have her family take them back? What is the ruling on the husband giving his wife an amount in a currency different from what was agreed upon at the time of purchase?
It is the husband's right to give his mother whatever he wishes from his own property without the wife's objection, as long as he spends on her (the wife) in a reasonable manner. As for the furniture owned by the wife, the husband's mother has no right to take it, nor does the husband have the right to dispose of it without her consent. If she agrees to sell it to her husband, the money belongs to her. The wife has the right to dispose of her own property, and the husband may use her furniture but not dispose of it without her consent. It is part of the wife's good character to be kind to her husband's family, overlook their mistakes, and help him honor his parents.
