Spousal consent
Spousal consent is the requirement that a spouse agrees to certain legal actions or decisions affecting their partner, such as marriage, divorce, or property transactions. It ensures that both partners are aware of and agree to important matters impacting their shared life or assets. This consent can be formal, like signing a document, or informal, depending on the legal context. It helps protect both spouses’ interests and promotes transparency in significant decisions that affect their relationship or joint property.
