Is a wife entitled to claim half of her husband's private property as a deed, and what is the ruling on the husband's refusal to do so on the grounds of circumventing Islamic law and preventing inheritance, especially given the absence of childbirth for 19 years and the husband's agreement to allocate an apartment to her as an unconditional gift?
