Judgment
What Was the 30,000 Afghani Payment For?
1. The parties reaffirm that the total Mahr stipulated in the marriage contract is 30,000 AFN, and the Defendant acknowledges that amount as a binding obligation.
2. The parties acknowledge the ambiguity concerning the Defendant’s prior transfer of 10,000 AFN to the Plaintiff. To resolve their dispute, they agree to divide the disputed amount equally: 5,000 AFN shall be credited toward the Mahr, and 5,000 AFN shall be treated as a gift or subsistence allowance for immediate past living expenses and shall not be deducted from the Mahr.
3. After that credit, the remaining Mahr balance payable by the Defendant to the Plaintiff is 25,000 AFN.
4. The Defendant shall pay the balance as follows:
a. A lump sum of [Insert Amount] AFN within [Insert Number] days of the signing of this order; and
b. The remaining balance of [Insert Amount] AFN in monthly installments of [Insert Amount] AFN, due on the first day of each calendar month until paid in full.
5. Upon full performance of the payment schedule, the Plaintiff releases the Defendant from any further financial claims concerning the Mahr.
6. The parties agree that this compromise is a full and final settlement of the immediate dispute and that they enter into it voluntarily and without duress.
