Arabic term or phrase: لأسبق الأجلين
المهر المؤجل 50000 لأسبق الأجلين
Annette
a deferrd dowery to either divorce or death, whichever happens earlier
Explanation:
the dowery is split into paid dowery and deferred dowery, the deferred one is either paid if couple divorced, or paid to the widow before the inheritence calculations take place. I have once translated a marriage contract done in Iraq and this was expressed as إحدى الفرقتين indicating either seperation; i.e. death or divorce
المادة العشرون:
1- يجوز تعجيل المهر أو تأجيله كلاً أو بعضاً. وعند عدم النص على ذلك يتبع العرف.
2- يسقط الأجل المعين في العقد لإستحقاق المهر بالوفاة أو الطلاق.

agree  Noha Kamal, PhD.: I prefer spelling it out like that because the two events or the two destinies sound vague and presume prior knowledge of the Islamic Sharia

The earliest of either tenors to mature/reach maturity


Explanation:
This is the most elaborate English connotation that I think reflects the meaning... I hope!

tenor entails a period of time before a certain sitaution ceases to continue. See definition 3 of reference below. For example it is used as the period of validity fo a loan, note or bill, etc.
