Is the deferred dowry to be paid to the wife in full, and is the husband responsible for the debts he caused her to incur?
The husband must pay the full mahr (dowry) to his wife, both the deferred and immediate portions, in the currency specified in the contract. As for the debts that the wife paid from her own money, the husband must return them to her, unless she gave them to him as a gift. This is established by his admission or by evidence, and the ruling on this matter is for the judiciary. It is recommended to try to reconcile and resolve disputes amicably between the two parties.
