This is for a homework assignment.
enajenar, with regards to bienes personales (personal property with complete ownership - see below) means "to dispose of." The word obligar, is where I'm having trouble fitting in here. To dispose of and oblige? Has anyone seen these grouped together before?
Any help is appreciated...
Context:

alienate and settle (tie up)
sus bienes personales.... en plena propiedad > absolutely. Not quite clear to me how the 'personalty', namely personal property like chattels can be encumbered, charged or mortgaged 'with complete ownership' when the legal title remains vested in the wife.

"4. tr. Der. Sujetar los bienes al pago de deudas o al cumplimiento de otras prestaciones exigibles."

That is precisely what it means here. Unfortunately bilingual dictionaries don't seem to take account of this meaning.
