The mediation settlement recorded during the divorce is binding, and the husband cannot avoid payment merely because the wife remarried-remarriage has no legal effect on a settled liability. Since he withheld the amount for 11 years without justification, the court is likely to order him to pay the agreed sum, and may also grant interest for the long delay and treat it as wilful default.
