The Ruling on a Poor Wife Taking Zakat if Her Husband is Rich

Question
What is the ruling on a poor wife taking zakat even if her husband is rich?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible for a poor wife to take zakat even if her husband is wealthy; because she is not considered wealthy by her husband's wealth, and God knows best.
