You do what works for your family.

If your husband makes enough where he doesnt need your help then its fine. But if you're making a decent amount of money and your husband is struggling, what kind of wife would you be? If they're comfortably doing well, most men dont ask or want their wives to contribute.

Sure, he has no right to ask you for money. However, insaniyat ke naam pe isnt it a woman's responsibility to be there for her husband through it all?

I dont think its as black and white.

And what if one partner has a debt in their name? Would the other partner help to pay it off? What if it's the other partner's family debt and not personal debt?

Re: Financial contribution of wife and husband?

Debt of in-laws is something else but personal debt of each partner becomes joint once you get married.

Sure, it would be the primary responsibility of the person who got the debt to pay it, but it is like the cosigner deal that the bank can come after you if the primary is unwilling or unable to pay the debt. This is a rude shock for many couples.

We do equal contribution. I earn it all, she spend it all

Re: Financial contribution of wife and husband?

My wife is on a salary from my company account, my parents are treated like a bill payment so those go out of my account like other bills mostly automatically before we get a chance to use the money. Any remaining cash in my account is for the joint use of the household for "required elements" my wife's money also contributes to this ... a fixed amount from the salary earned by my wife is her money in the Islamic sense and if there are personal expenses "luxuries" then that will be spent from her money. Any expenses she wants to make outside our budget and she can't wait for the next monthly round those will also go from her person pot of money. Essentially we have two allocations of money ... household income (all of my income and most of her income) and her personal pot. Money for family other than those who have a right over me are given from excess cash, zakat (business and personal) and if they are near relations to my wife then she often chooses to give from her personal pot as well.

Re: Financial contribution of wife and husband?

I'd happily contribute half to all the household expenses but not to clear his or his family's debt unless it was because of something out of their control such as illness..

Imo if someone is stupid or reckless enough to get themselves into debt the best thing for them to learn their lesson is to pay it off on their own thru hard work and saving.. Why should I help clear it for them to possibly go out and do the same thing all over again..

Re: Financial contribution of wife and husband?

if both are working then it should be like....

the husband pays the mortgage and bills

whereas the wife should like buy the groceries...

and your own expense like clothes and stuff you should do yourself

whereas the inlaws back home... the wife does not have a duty to send money to in laws from her salary, instead it should be the husband who provides for his own family as in laws dont have a right over their daughter in laws money

however, the husband shouldnt be crazy and give like 90% of his salary to his parents as his first priority is to provide for his wife and kids

Re: Financial contribution of wife and husband?

yea but a wife has a right over husband's money......and if husband is sending money to his parents.........basically he is taking away from wife and giving to his parents.........so is he not violating is wife's right???

Re: Financial contribution of wife and husband?

If he’s fulfilling his wife and children’s needs and expenses, then obviously him sending money to his parents is not violating his wife’s rights. :rolleyes: When will you quit trolling Nomi?

Re: Financial contribution of wife and husband?

Re: Financial contribution of wife and husband?

37

Re: Financial contribution of wife and husband?

ohh and we both have debts from college, we decided that we would be each responsible for that debt, so not to burden the other person...

38

Re: Financial contribution of wife and husband?

Because you always make these sort of statements or questions even though you probably know the answers to your questions :snooty: You seem to like arguing for the sake of it. It seems like it’s your mission to turn every thread into a men vs women thing (where women are at fault) :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Financial contribution of wife and husband?
