The court dismissed Jameel’s plea and issued a detailed judgment, stating that gifts given to the wife at the time of marriage or before separation become her personal property and cannot be reclaimed by the husband. This ruling reinforces the irrevocability of such gifts, establishing them as the wife’s sole possession during the marriage.
