The Ruling on Giving the Woman Control over the Marriage Contract

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
...is it in the woman's hands...?

Answer:
This is not permissible; it is not for the woman to have control. Control over the marriage contract lies with the husband. If he gives it to her, it becomes an invalid condition. If the contract is made on this basis, it is an invalid condition. However, if he appoints her as his agent in some cases, there is no harm in that.
