Holding

Facts

The Plaintiff claims the Defendant transferred a property without her spousal consent, while the Defendant claims the Plaintiff had given consent. The Plaintiff denies being married to the Defendant and claims the property was given to her by her husband.

  2. Whether the Plaintiff's claim of spousal consent is valid
