Is the woman bought?
This is how Tractate Kiddushin opens. A. Does this mean that it belongs to her husband? B. If it is forbidden property, why is it called property? third. If it’s ownership of the desecration [which can be carried out whenever it wants], it’s really not beautiful and immoral, isn’t it?!

A common mistake. See my article here:
Why is it wrong? There are quite a few rabbis and commentators who believe this. For example, the Ramban says, “And your desire is for your husband.” The wife desires her master. Or the author of the Cedar Trees, who believed that the husband has absolute ownership over marital relations and even permitted the husband to rape his wife when she rebels.
Almost no one believes this. Read the article
See Rishonim in Gittin 9. “The wife is not the property of the husband” (and Rabbi Miki probably went into more detail in his article). Moreover, it is impossible to sell the wife so that she is not exactly yours.
