The answer

The wife must enable her husband to cohabit after the prompt dower has been paid and a suitable dwelling provided. An exception to this is the period during which the girl prepares herself for her husband. The wife has the right to refuse cohabitation if the prompt dower has not been paid to her, and she may request annulment of the contract due to the husband's insolvency regarding maintenance.
