Is it permissible for a husband to sell his wife`s jewelry if he was in a hard up?

Answer:
A woman`s jewelry and dowry are her own property, and it is forbidden for the husband to take either without obtaining her approval. However, it is desirable for the wife to support her husband through considering her jewelry a sort of documented debt on him.
