§ The mishna teaches: If the animal was hers, the sin-offering must be left to die and the burnt-offering is sacrificed.The Gemara asks: She, this married woman, from where does she have her own property? Haven’t you said as a principle that with regard to any item that a woman acquires, her husband automatically acquires it from her? Rav Pappa said: This is referring to a case where she saved it from her dough, i.e., she was able to buy the animal with the money she saved by eating less. 

Our case of מַה שֶּׁקָּנְתָה אִשָּׁה קָנָה בַּעְלָהּ opens up the discussion of wiomen and halachic observance.
