In the UAE, there are no explicit law regulating prenuptial or postnuptial agreements. Such an agreement is simply a contract between both parties, and the courts take them into consideration as one of the factors affecting its decision regarding parties\u2019 assets\/wealth.<\/p>\n
The new civil personal status law for non-Muslims federal decree no.41\/2022 refers to the conditions of the marriage contract, which suggests that couples can reach a prenuptial agreement before they get married under the law.<\/p>\n
This is in referral to article 6(2) of the law, stating that \u201cMarriage shall take place by filling out the form prepared to this effect by both spouses before the certification judge. Spouses may agree on conditions of the contract, and the contract, shall, as between them, prevail in terms of rights of the spouses during the marriage, and post-divorce rights, especially the joint custody of the children.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is essential to carefully draft a prenuptial agreement based on the specific needs and circumstances of the couple, taking into account the tangible assets that each individual brings to the marriage. The agreement should clearly outline the terms and conditions regarding asset division, spousal support or alimony in case of divorce or death.<\/p>\n
The specific terms of the agreement would depend on individual cases circumstances.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the laws governing prenuptial agreements and marriage contracts vary considerably around the world and \u2013 just as important -the attitudes of contracts to such contracts diverge considerably, significantly and in many different ways from country to country. A prenup currently valid in the place of marriage or residency is not equally valid in other places.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
