Islamic Prenuptial Agreement
Islamic Prenuptial Agreement
A pre-nuptial/post-nuptial is an agreement that couples enter into before marriage, pre-nuptial, or after marriage, post-nuptial. Both agreements set forth the division of assets in the event of death or divorce. Both agreements must be fair. That means there must be full disclosure of both the husband’s and the wife’s assets. Under most state law, both a pre-nuptial and post-nuptial must be entered voluntarily and signed by the couple. It is strongly encouraged that the couple each seek individual counsel to go over the agreement before signing. A pre-nuptial/post-nuptial would not be enforceable if either spouse were forced into the agreement or did not fully disclose their assets. The assets that are divided in the event of a divorce are assets that are acquired during the marriage. This includes inheritance or any gift given to either spouse individually. Property, whether personal or land, that was owned by either spouse before marriage is separate property and will not be subject to any division in the event of a divorce.

Neither pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement cannot provide for nor limit child support or the children’s rights. The agreement only applies to property.
The top reasons that couples enter into a such agreements are usually to protect separate property, spousal maintenance or alimony, and division of the marital estate.
Let’s be honest. No one marries expecting a divorce. What a pre/post nuptial agreement provides is a piece of mind that property acquired during the marriage will be divided with fairness. TLR ADR, LLC, tailors the agreement to ensure that the spouses’ rights, legally and Islamically, are protected.
