wat a kanjoos husband!
What a LALCHI wife...
Re: Pre-Nups.
I remember when me and hubby were getting married… pre-nups weren’t that prominent back then…but as he is the first born of a wealthy french family, the MIL was adament that we have some sort of documented agreement to ‘protect her son’… the hubby did not talk to her for weeks for even mentioning such a thing…
the concept of a pre-nup is very cold…it’s like the whole marriage is just a business deal, and i would never agree to sign such a document. i guess in some cases it is needed though…
my SIL got married to the son of a wealthy russian billionaire’s son recently. She’s on her third marriage. 
Re: Pre-Nups.
If you cannot trust your other half with your finances, who can you trust?!
Reminds me of the song 'Goldigger' :D "We want pre-nup, we want pre-nup"
Re: Pre-Nups.
haq maher is not a prenup!!
It is supposed to be given right after the nikkah unless the wife says otherwise. If the wife wants it a month after the wedding, the husband is obligated to give it on demand and the husband has no say whatsoever on how the wife spends the money. It is not supposed to be given upon divorce, but instead right after the marriage takes place.
Re: Pre-Nups.
^That is a horrifying situation. I mean NOT all girls can be trust worthy. They could have a big amount sign up and then soon after marriage get out of marriage. So the guy is now obligate to give the money?
NO WAY. I'm with boyz this time! lol
Re: Pre-Nups.
No, I'm sorry it's just that you keep whatever's yours and your partner keeps theirs. I feel that I should keep whatever I earnt from my life, I don't need my partners money for anything if I'm going to provide myself for everything. Now if it's kids invovled then my partner would have to put as much money in as I do for THEIR sake. Not mine.
Re: Pre-Nups.
how did this become a topic about haq mehr 
…pre nup and haq mehr are two different things.
Re: Pre-Nups.
We do not have a prenup. Nor would I consider it. But then, we were both starting out building our lives together with the understanding that everything would belong to BOTH.
For for those who come into the marriage with a great disparity in the material wealth between the two parties, this is probably a logical step.
For me however, it seems to already imply a divorce in the future. Why would you even get married if you already have a suspicion that things might not work out?
But thats just me. :)
Re: Pre-Nups.
As a side note, a Prenuptual Agreement does not only mean that 'she keeps what was hers and he keeps what was his'.
It can be simple or really comprehensive depending on the assets involved and can details things such as:
If the couple is married for 3 years before they get divorced, then the assets are divided like this, but if it's after 10 years, then its like this. If there are kids from the union, then the alimony will be this. If the cause of the divorce is infidelity, then the terms would be this etc etc...

thank you!!!! it's such a misconception that mahr should be given at time of divorce. it's from the husband to his wife ideally right after wedding time but if the woman agrees, she can have the husband give it to her later if he doesn't have the money. he has NO right over that money once the wife gets it.
Re: Pre-Nups.
I might incorporate some sort of pre-nup into my nikah contract so it's all in one long document but I understand that whilst a judge will take into account what's in the pre-nup they aren't legally binding in the UK.
