English translation of the principle

Maintenance during the waiting period. Entitlement thereto runs from the date it becomes due. It is extinguished only by payment or release. The rule in Article 78 of the Personal Status Law precluding the hearing of an action for a preceding period exceeding two years. It does not apply thereto. The ground of challenge raised in this regard. A manifestly invalid defense; failure to set it out or respond to it does not render the judgment defective.
Arabic original
