Question: In a prompt dowry case that was presented for settlement, the wife refused both the settlement and the installment payments, insisting on receiving the full amount in cash. However, the judge ruled in favor of installments on the grounds that the husband provided evidence of being in debt. Is it lawful for the judge to impose installments despite the wife’s refusal?
Answer by Lawyer Moataz Al-Shreideh: You can file an appeal against the decision, but in this case, you need a lawyer, since an appeal filed without a lawyer will be dismissed procedurally.
