Must a wife make up the days of Ramadan that she missed due to a legitimate Shar’i excuse, when her father prevented her from making them up, claiming that a sum of money should be paid instead, knowing that she missed 19 days and is currently pregnant?

Your wife must make up for the days of fasting she missed. If making them up now is difficult due to pregnancy, she should make them up when it becomes easy for her to do so. Feeding the poor is not a substitute for making up the fasts.
