Explanation of Article 213

This article addresses the statement of "installment payment," which means that the debtor fulfills the debt in installments. The article stipulates that installment payment is permissible unless there is an agreement or statutory provision to the contrary.

It is worth noting that this ruling applies to all types of obligations, whether they are contracts, acknowledgments, discharges, or otherwise.

This article is considered one of the most important articles related to installment payment, and it clarifies the impact of installment payment on the obligation.
