Is the fiancée's condition to postpone the wedding due to her cousins' inability to attend considered an injustice to the fiancé who wishes to expedite the marriage, especially after previous postponements for various reasons?
If the fiancée is the wife upon whom the marriage contract has been solemnized but with whom the husband has not yet consummated the marriage, then she must surrender herself to him upon his request once he has paid the advanced portion of the dowry. She does not have the right to postpone it without a valid excuse, and waiting for relatives to attend the wedding is not considered an excuse. As for the fiancée upon whom the marriage contract has not been solemnized, she may request a postponement of the marriage, and this is not considered an injustice to the suitor. However, it is preferable to expedite the marriage and not postpone it for these reasons.
