Qamar Khanum writes to the Majlis that Shahrbanu Khanum owed her 100 tuman and refused to return it. She kept promissing to give it back, but did not do so.
Different people owed Khanum Banu Musamma, the daughter of Dabir ʻAli Kirmanshahani, some money, but since she was a woman, no one paid the debt. In despair, she asked the Majlis to help her.
Maʻsumah Khanum, the daughter of Aqa Muhammad ʻAli Khzanah complained that Iʻtisam al-Saltanah owed her ten thousand tumans and that although the Ministry of Justice voted in her favor, he did not return the money. The Ministry of Justice said that they had no executive power and refused to help her get her money back.
ʻIsmat, the mother of Mirza Ibrahim Aqa, former member of Parliament, wrote that Haji ʻAli Akbar, the nephew of Haji Mirza Hasan Mujtahid borrowed 230 tuman from her and refused to return the money. She had a verdict in her favor from the court in Tabriz, but Haji ʻAli Akbar would not return the money.
The documents include a petition from Haji Mirza Sayyid ʻAli Muhammad Larijani's daughter to the Majlis and some related correspondence. The petition is about the money that Haji Sayyid Ibrahim Larijani owed her and refused to pay. Though she compromised to get 1700 tumans instead of the original 4000 tumans debt, he still refused to pay.
Fakhr al-Hajiyah asks Majlis to help her get her money back from Banu-yi ʻUzma (4000 tumans) and Khalil Khan Vazir (1400 Tumans). They refused to return her money and then claimed that the money was lost. The Majlis forwarded her petition to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Justice. The responses indicate that Banu-yi ʻUzma changed her citizenship and Akbar, the brother of Khalil Khan who had to pay Fakhr al-Hajiyah on his behalf, was out of the country.
