Arthashastra
तद् आत्म पुत्र स्नुषा भर्मणि प्रवास अप्रतिविधाने च भार्याया भोक्तुम् अदोषः, प्रतिरोधक व्याधि दुर्भिक्ष भय प्रतीकारे धर्म कार्ये च पत्युः, सम्भूय वा दम्पत्योर् मिथुनं प्रजातयोः ॥
There is no limit to jewellery. It is no guilt for the wife to make use of this property in maintaining her son, her daughter-in-law or herself whenever her absent husband has made no provision for her maintenance. In calamities, disease and famine, in warding off dangers and in charitable acts, the husband, too, may make use of this property.
