In all highly developed countries, a marriage contract is considered the norm. No one would be offended by the proposal to draw up a marriage contract. But our compatriots are still perplexed and let out various malicious snags on this subject. Some people think that this will kill all the romance, that you should not marry at all if you do not believe in love and are not ready to bear responsibility for your family. But people who are wise by life experience, having behind them a few divorces and disappointments, have a different opinion. After all, contract marriage can serve as a guarantee against all kinds of swindlers and treacherous hunters for other people's money.
In order to understand this issue, it is worth considering a closer look at what the marriage contract is based on: the pros and cons. What are the advantages that open to those couples who go to conclude a contract?
Firstly, there is a certain circle of people who just need to take such a step. For example, to various stars of show business, if they enter into family relationships with their producers. At the same time, the prenuptial contract must be carefully deducted, all points discussed with lawyers, and consult with all kinds of specialists. After all, viewers have more than once managed to observe the scandalous divorces of their favorite movie stars and pop stars.
Secondly, it is necessary to clearly distinguish between the concepts of “love” and “property”. Most of all, those who pursue selfish goals, who are not sure that they can be a faithful spouse and caring parent, shout about the inappropriateness of such an agreement. If a person is confident in himself, knows that he marries for love, then he is not at all afraid to sign a marriage contract. And do not look out for something humiliating for yourself. This is a kind of insurance, foresight and wisdom. Indeed, unfortunately, divorces are not something out of the ordinary now. Divorces have become commonplace. But the contract will be able to protect both children and the right side from subsequent hassle and injustice.
Thirdly, supporters of contract marriage claim that this is the pre-wedding confirmation of love. If you know that your future spouse had unpleasant, and maybe even tragic moments connected with the divorce and division of property, then you will understand his desire to play it safe. If the marriage is really strong and harmonious, then this paper will remain just a formality. Often the richer spouse, having lived with her mate for several years and making sure that the relationship is clean and selfless, terminates the contract itself or makes significant changes to the marriage contract.
Fourth, so many films have been shot about divorce proceedings, which show how people who once loved each other begin to humiliate themselves and share everything to the last spoon, manipulate children and behave disgustingly and scary. To avoid all this nightmare, you should think over everything in advance. After all, none of us wants a loved one to injure our arm or leg, to burn a cottage or to hijack a car, but everyone is trying to insure the cottage, car, and health. Why not do the same with your own marriage?
What arguments are put forward by those who believe that a marriage contract is stupidity and humiliation?
Firstly, such an agreement does not make sense to those who marry without any property. What can be shared with those who already have nothing? And jointly acquired property lawyers and so will be divided equally.
Secondly, the reverse option. Such an agreement is not so necessary in those families where both spouses make an equal contribution to the family.
Thirdly, those who love very much and do not have a negative experience of divorce will not go to the drafting of the contract. Usually, those who have already once been burned in milk begin to blow into the water.
