Question
Is there a reason for a woman to purchase land in order to fulfill the mitzvah of Shemitah?
Answer
It is appropriate. To avoid the issue that what a woman buys belongs to her husband, it is good for the husband to purchase the land unit for his wife, so that both the land and the produce belong to the woman.
