Abstract

This research reviews a crucial topic, namely a woman’s donation of her money without her husband’s permission, which is a legal jurisprudence study, for which this study aims to show the ruling of this case. To achieve the objectives of this study, the researcher adopted the deductive and analytical methods to clarify the concepts used in the research and conclude with a legal vision of the subject of the study. The research showed that an adult, sane, reasonable woman has an independent financial responsibility, and she has the freedom to dispose of her money in financial donation contracts without considering her husband’s permission, even if the money exceeds one-third. The provisions of Jordanian law support this conclusion.
