Lao Dong Newspaper Legal Consulting Office replied:

Article 105 of the 2015 Civil Code stipulates that property includes objects, money, valuable papers and property rights.

Clause 1, Article 44 of the 2014 Law on Marriage and Family stipulates: Husband and wife have the right to possess, use, and dispose of their own property; to incorporate or not incorporate their own property into common property.

Clause 1, Article 2 of the Law on Prevention and Control of Domestic Violence 2022 explains the term as follows: Domestic violence is an intentional act of a family member that causes or is likely to cause physical, mental, sexual, or economic harm to another family member.

Thus, economic violence is a form of domestic violence.

Article 58 of Decree 144/2021/ND-CP on administrative sanctions for violations in the fields of security, order, and social safety; prevention and control of social evils; fire prevention and fighting; rescue; prevention and control of domestic violence, stipulates the level of sanctions for acts of economic violence as follows: A fine of VND 20,000,000 to VND 30,000,000 for one of the following acts:

1. Appropriation of private property of family members.

2. Forcing family members to overwork or do heavy, dangerous work, expose them to toxic substances or do other work contrary to labor laws.

3. Forcing family members to beg or wander around for a living.

Thus, a wife who appropriates her husband's private money can be fined from 20,000,000 VND to 30,000,000 VND.
