The Need for Prenuptial Agreements in Modern Marriages

The Need for Prenuptial Agreements in Modern Marriages

Various sociologists have defined marriage throughout history. Westermarck described it as a durable connection between male and female that extends beyond reproduction. Malinowski viewed it as an agreement focused on raising children, while Horton and Hunt saw it as a social pattern for family establishment. Modern marriage combines these ideas and has evolved with the rise of divorce, leading to challenges such as property division, alimony, child custody, and debts. A key solution to address these issues is Prenup Agreements, which have roots dating back 2,000 years to ancient Egypt and were also reflected in the Jewish ketubah, an ancient marriage contract. This blog highlights the need for Prenuptial Agreements in Modern Marriages in detail.

In this blog, the implications of the Women Reservation Act are addressed by gauging the historical context, prospective benefits, objections, and the general societal impact.
