Is the deferred dowry calculated in the currency of the agreed-upon time for payment if it is not paid on time? Does the wife have the right to demand its real value when the currency exchange rate changes significantly? And is she held accountable for the husband's anger when she demands her financial rights?

The deferred dowry is a debt owed by the husband to his wife, and it is to be paid with its equivalent, not its value at the time of payment. There is no blame upon the wife for demanding her rights, and both spouses should consider each other's feelings.
