What is the ruling regarding a woman who broke her fast for seven days in Ramadan due to menstruation and was unable to make them up before the onset of the following Ramadan? Is she obligated to make them up in the same year, or do they remain a debt upon her, even if a full year has passed?

If a woman has a valid excuse for delaying the make-up of Ramadan fasts, such as a prolonged illness or continuous travel, then there is nothing binding upon her, and she can make up the fasts after Ramadan. However, if she has no valid excuse and intentionally delays, then she must make up the fasts along with an expiation (kaffarah) of a mudd of food for each day.
