Short answer
Spouses must agree disposal of joint property, but lack of knowledge or disagreement alone is not an automatic ground of invalidity. Article 1160 expressly provides a special rule.
Practical example
An apartment is registered to one spouse, who sells it. The other may need to claim sale benefits and investigate other genuine invalidity grounds.
What to do
Obtain the sale contract, extracts and price and payment evidence. Establish joint ownership and where the proceeds went.
Points to consider
This does not mean every secret transaction is protected or every such sale invalid. Assess the specific facts.
