Marriage Portion
Marriage Portion
According to the law, as soon as the marriage takes place, the wife becomes the owner of the marriage portion and can claim her marriage portion from the husband even the day after the marriage is concluded.
How the wife acts to obtain the marriage portion:
If the marriage portion is in cash or in the form of cash such as coins and gold, the woman with the official marriage document can go to the marriage office or the registry office (located in the registry office of the place of marriage) and in a special form in which The circle is available to apply for an executive order.
The execution will be notified to the husband and he will be given 10 days to pay his wife’s request. If the husband does not pay his debt during this period, the wife can apply for confiscation by introducing the husband’s property and assets to the registry, and she can also confiscate the husband’s claims from other persons or his bank account balance. The wife can also request the confiscation of the husband’s rights from public or private organizations and institutions, up to a quarter of the salary (as long as the husband is married) and a third of it (if the husband and wife separate and until the husband takes another wife). If the marriage portion is a coin or gold and the husband is unable to pay the principal, the price on the day of their claim (the day the wife claims it through the registry or the court) is the criterion for the legal execution of the sentence. If the marriage certificate is not official, the woman must apply to the court to claim her marriage portion.
