The wife's salary is her exclusive right, and she may dispose of it as she wishes, so long as she is not foolish. Her husband has no right to it except with her consent. If the husband transports her to work, and he intended it as a donation, then he is owed nothing. But if he intended it as a wage, then he is entitled to a fair market wage, no more.
