What is the religious ruling on the actions of a husband who buys land with his wife's money and then inflates its price, sells another plot of land belonging to her without her knowledge using a forged power of attorney, sells her personal gold without her permission, and does not spend on his household and children despite his affluence? Furthermore, how can such a husband be dealt with, and is the money he took rightfully his?

It is forbidden for a husband to take his wife's money without her permission and consent. If he does so, he must repent and return the money to her. The wife has the right to demand her money, even if it necessitates taking the matter to a judge. However, it is advisable to be patient and seek reward from Allah if doing so would lead to divorce and harm to the children.
