MOST IMPORTANT WORDS: PRENUP

[ANONYMOUSXXXXXX 0]

Hi guys--Just a note to say get a prenuptial agreement for ANY marriage. I don't care whether you are male or female. That way, nobody can take away anything you have worked hard for for many years. If your fiance doesn't like it, too bad. If they are not after anything, then they should not object. If they object, do it anyway. You will be happy you did, no matter what the future holds.

kinda difficult to do when they object, isn't it?

don't they have to sign the prenup for it to be valid? and if they object to one, odds are they won't sign it, so how does one do it anyways?

I would have had him sign one...that is, if I had anything for him to take. Since I have nothing, and nothing from nothing leaves nothing .........who cares.

Yes, both parties need to sign the prenup.

Yes, if one party objects, then obviously that presents a problem. Even if it were signed under duress, it most likely would not be binding. Should it ever come to action, a judge would expect to see that both parties signed it of their own free will in full knowledge of the terms and conditions stated within. Otherwise, it will be tossed out of a divorce proceeding.

Hence my earlier statement - if you believe a prenup is important to you, and you want your SO to sign it - then discuss it with your partner and explain why you feel it is important. If your partner still won't sign it ------ don't get married.

Full disclosure: I do have a prenup signed by my fiancee and myself. I explained to her why it was important to me (because I got taken to the cleaners by my first wife). We both agreed to do it at a law firm in Thailand that prepared the document in both Thai and English. She had an attorney representing her who explained all the terms and conditions to her in Thai before we both signed it. It's there as a precaution. I don't ever expect to need to have it enforced.

Personally, I do not believe in them. I have been married before and lost everything. Nevertheless, I still do not believe in prenups

Yes, get the PreNup done. 50% of marriages fail in the US.

Consider the PreNup "divorce insurance."

Most all of us get car insurance, and there is much less of a statistical chance that we will get in a car accident.

Forget about the PreNup "Not being Romantic".

If she wont sign, then she has a reason not to sign.

Many guys wimp out, and dont have the huevos to get'er done.

I've noticed several reports of failed marriages, just before AOS on this website, and it puts chills down my spine.

The $500 spent on a PreNup, may very well be the cheapest insurance you will ever buy.

Why is this in mena?

if anything it should be in ot since I'd bet the majority of the MENA marriages are probably Islamic which *is* basically a prenup agreement. It's a contract stating what will happen in the marriage (if you wanted to put stuff in there) and what will happen afterwards (who gets what). To be honest I think an additional prenup would be a waste of money in an Islamic marriage but that's just me.

Ok scratch that I just read the latest pages on Kat's thread. Whoops.

It would be my husband that would be the one to do the prenup, he has more money, as an intern, I have NOTHING. Since I have nothing to protect, I never even thought of that. Not sure how I would feel if my husband ask me to do that, but like Bridget said, in Islam it is pretty much already laid out. But I can see where a prenup would have help some folks.
