Paying Zakat for Children

Question
If the zakat is given to the son's wife, does it return to the son, and is this money spent on the household?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: One of the conditions for the zakat of wealth is the ownership of the money by the poor. When it is given to the daughter's husband, for example, ownership has been transferred to someone other than the offspring, and here he has the option to give the money to his wife or someone else, so the matter is different. And God knows best.
