The Prompt and deferred dowry of a woman is considered a preferential debt in the law. Accordingly, if there are several debts with the dowry debt, the dowry has priority as a guarantee of the wife’s right.
The provisions of the prompt dowry are not subject to the provisions of the prescription, even if they are written on a bond as long as the marital life exists, in order to preserve the woman’s right to dowry in accordance with the opinion of Islamic Sharia.
Also, the dowry debt is one of the debts that, if not paid, entails a penalty of imprisonment according to an enforcement order from the court.
