In a majority of marriages, women are literally employed rather than being life-partners. The terms and conditions under which they are forced to live and compromise are more difficult than that of an employee in a company. If an employee should find difficulty in compromising with the companys environment or terms and conditions of the employment contract, he has the opportunity to resign and join another company. However, this is not easy in a marital contract.
A Pre-Marital Contract can promote clarity and understanding between the spouses and the families concerned and help in addressing many concerns and issues that arise post-marriage. The following specimen is an effort to highlight the same.
