Responsa על כתובות 107:16

Teshuvot Maharam

Your statement is correct. The act of a married woman who disposed of her clothes on her death-bed, is invalid. The clothes must be returned to the husband. For a husband buys raiment for his wife only for the purpose of her wearing them, not for the purpose of her giving them away. Although the husband was present at the time the gifts were made, and did not protest, his silence did not indicate consent. It rather showed a knowledge that his wife's act was invalid, and required no protest.
This Responsum is addressed to: "My teacher Rabbi Asher."
