A recent news on pre-nuptial agreements:
Till a pre-nup does us apart
My comments on some points in news:
Says divorce lawyer, Mini Menon, "A pre-nup would be a contract signed by two equal individuals. But in India despite all the education women receive, their access to law and justice is still limited. So the need remains to strengthen the already existing laws for women instead of getting in prenup, which will only benefit a few -- who have property and are financially sound."
...their access to law and justice is still limited. So do you know of an educated Indian man who can get access to police station, lawyers, courts by making a phone call or a simple personal visit? The reality is law and justice are not accessible in India. Doesn't matter you are man or woman, educated or uneducated.
Not everyone is convinced about the need for pre-nups. Some question the sanctity of a marriage that is based on doubts. Socialite Haseena Jethmalani says, "A pre-nup can't help make a marriage work. If anyone feels that a marriage may not work out then may be they shouldn't even get into one."
Yeah that is a brilliant idea. Don't get into something if you have doubt. If a student is not sure he will pass the exam, he should not even appear for it leave alone studying. A job candidate should not even apply for jobs because one can never be sure they will get the job. But of course many head into marriage with closed eyes since society conditions them to... marriage is meant for continuation of society, and that is why society wholeheartedly wants new members to join. Pre-nup or no pre-nup, that fact will not change!
