Explanation:
I would say "in consideration of ................................. of which ................................. was paid in advance and ................................. is deferred and payable at the nearest of the two terms."

The reason dowry should not be used is that in many of the English dictionaries you'll find a dowry is the sum of money or estate a woman gives to her husband, which is followed in some parts of India. In the Islamic tradition, this is not the case at all. To avoid the misunderstanding, it is better to paraphrase.
