Girls father harassing the groom for mahr money

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: A couple got married 3 years ago and the agreement of nahr was on mahr fatimi. On the day of the nikka the groom did not have the full amount so the agreement was that he would pay it off later. The amount of 3000 was given and the remaing amount is 7700. 3 years has past and no payment was made. The husband and wife have an understanding that the husband will give it by the end of the year inshallah. The brides father keeps asking and embarrassing the groom. I just wanted to know if the brides father have a say in this matter?

Bismillaah

A: If the groom has promised to pay by the end of the year and the bride is comfortable with this then it is not right for the father to harass the groom.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
