A husband and wife have been employees for many years, and they spend their entire income on the household. The man took his wife's gold with her consent and invested it.

Answer

I say, and with God's success: As long as he shared the house with her, it should be registered in the name of each of them according to the amount they contributed to the price of the house, and God knows best.
