It's really up to the parties to agree on the payment. It's important to note that any portion of the mahr that is delayed would be considered a debt for the husband. The husband is obligated to pay it like any other debt.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c2327a9","tag":"Relationships: Potential Spouse","count":44},{"_id":"668d9ff40b76658b4c232a2f","tag":"Marriage: Mahr","count":18},{"_id":"668da0130b76658b4c232d6d","tag":"Contemporary Life: Debt","count":16}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:11.042Z"}
