        I am a Hindu boy, going to marry a Muslim girl. I want to protect my ancestral wealth from conditions like divorce. Can I use a prenup? Or should I get married in Goa? Which is a good option? What can I do?

          If you’re worried that your marriage might not work then just don’t get married at all.

                  Truth. Marry only if you are certain about the other person.

                      When it comes to money and assets, nobody should be trusted 100%. Hope for the best but do prepare for the worst.

                      Here comes the feminist crying about a man protecting his own pre-marriage hard earned assets in which the girl had no part to play.

                      OP, dont listen to thee people . take all precautions n pre-emptive steps possible

                      Go for some arbitration methods prior to marriage as per convenient clauses you want to include.

                        Marry someone who has the same amount of wealth as you and the same job as you. That’s the clearest way to avoid paying alimony or maintenance. If this isn’t the case, then I’m sorry, there’s no legal way of avoiding paying alimony if your marriage fails. Now note the word “Legal”. You can always pay bribes to lawyers and judges to get judgements in your favour!

                                  If you are concerned about losing your share in ancestral property, check the effect of marriage on severance from the Hindu Undivided Family and the loss of coparcenary rights in HUF property after marrying a non-Hindu under the Special Marriage Act.

                                    If you are having thoughts that your marriage is not going to last long, don’t get married or take some more time to think over that.

                                    Pre nuptial agreements are not valid agreements under law as of now. You may have to go through a legal battle to get one, which may put stress upon your relationship.

                                    If your domicile is Goa, you may get married under that code. One cannot get married in goa without having valid residential proofs.

                                    **Disclaimer:** In the absence of all the facts of the case, the comments given may not be the best solution for your case. One on one consultation with a legal counsel/ advocate is advised to get better guidance.
