Tithing Money Brought by the Wife

Question

My wife lent money to someone before the wedding after she tithed it, and now after the wedding, he returned it to her. Do I need to tithe the money, or since the money is now jointly owned by both spouses, is it not considered that I am receiving it?

Answer

Shalom u'vracha

You do not need to tithe again.
