Abstract
According to the famous ruling of the jurists and Article 1085, the wife can refuse the first special obedience until she receives the dower. Sometimes, due to financial incapacity, the husband is not able to pay the dower, which in case of referring to the competent authorities and claiming incapacity, the court orders the dower to be paid in installments. In this case, the dispute over whether the wife's right of refusal still remains or not, led to the issuance of ruling on unity of procedure in the payment of dower No. 1387/05/22-708, according to which, until the last installment is paid, the wife has the right to refuse and is entitled to alimony. In the jurisprudential study of the issued verdict, the following results have been obtained: First, a considerable number of jurists, in the case of incapacity, do not consider the right to imprisonment valid and have accepted it only if the husband is financially capable. In addition, a group of jurists have considered heavy dowers as an obvious example of spendthrift transactions and have cast doubt on their legitimacy. According to the authors, in the current situation, acting in accordance with the ruling on unity of procedure is contrary to the requirements of the marriage and its inherent nature.
