Answer

Zakat is fard on you and you have to pay it. If you don't have money then you cant take out that much amount of gold and give as a zakat.

Please keep it in your mind that you are not supposed to force your husband to pay on your behalf, however if he wishes to do so, on his own, then it is ok.

And Allah knows best.
