April 15, 2025 at 2:59 amSo, my cousin brother is getting married in December. Me and my cousin brother are close so he shares everything and it’s the other way around too.It’s an arranged marriage setup and due to all the cases around nowadays, he asked his fiancΓ© if it was okay to make a contact stating the alimony rules. So, if anything happens with her, there will be no or.minimal alimony but if my brother messes up then the alimony is to be paid in full and more such situations included in that contract.
My question is, is that contract legally bound if both parties have signed? In the future will it hold credibility in the court? Will it be considered in the case of a divorce? If yes, is this a way out of alimony and such cases?

April 15, 2025 at 3:19 amOkay, just a follow up question. Should I advice him to get married in Goa with the prenup signed? If yes, would Goa court help getting the marriage liquidated cause of prenup as it’s not binding in India?Also, what is NAL? Thoda bouncer gaya π It means non applicable kya?
Thank you for your response!

April 15, 2025 at 5:28 amI think your best bet would be to write all your assets under your mother’s name before getting married. I think for the Goa part, a lawyer here would be able to help you-

April 15, 2025 at 9:54 amTransferring assets is not helpful, the court accounts for income, usually asks for ITRs of previous years, can also consider bank statements, lifestyle, etc.-

April 16, 2025 at 4:46 pmJust out of curiosity, when you mention that pre-nups are valid for wedding in Goa, is this for anyone who gets married in Goa, or only those who live in Goa?I know so many people heading for destination weddings in Goa, is this the reason?

April 15, 2025 at 3:51 amPrenup is not valid in India. It can always be challenged if the kids are involved. Tbh prenups are realy rock solid.
What needs to happen is take no dowry, and maybe hold on to kids (divorce gets messy once they are invovled) for a few years. It’s not just the partner that matters now, their side of family too, and sometimes past has a way of resurfacing. It is really has turned a bit scary but walk in with some optimism and hope for the best. Good luck βοΈ -

April 15, 2025 at 4:21 amItβs not legally valid. And why would any girl will sign up for such marriage. She will go through the child rearing process for this man, she is the life partner, Whats about her safety security?What if your so called brother wants divorce after 5 years of marriage because the wife got fat after child delivery? Itβs a common theme in USA. What will happen to her then?

April 15, 2025 at 7:07 amPrenuptial agreements are not valid in India. Any such agreements made will be overruled by the applicable law of the land, and they would be held invalid.Even the Goan prenups are not ironclad, and it is a headache to implement them within the state; good luck even trying to do so outside of Goa.

April 15, 2025 at 8:07 amPrenups are not valid, but if the girl files fake rape cases against your whole family to maximize her alimony – in that case a post-wedding declaration that no dowry was exchanged IS IN FACT ACCEPTED BY HIGH COURTS.Indian girls love to file fake rape cases to get maximum alimony.
