What is the wife’s rightful share of gold: Is it what the husband brought as a dowry (shabka), or what is written in the movable property list, especially since the husband believes that her right to claim the gold is only upon divorce?

It appears that what is written in the list is a debt owed by the husband to his wife, representing a deferred part of the dowry. If the spouses did not agree on a specific due date for paying the gold mentioned in the list, then the husband is not obligated to pay it except upon separation, in accordance with custom and tradition.
