Prenuptial agreements, often referred to as prenups, are legal contracts entered into by couples before they marry or enter a civil partnership. These agreements outline how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be managed in the event of divorce or the death of one spouse. While prenuptial agreements have gained popularity in recent years, they have advantages and disadvantages that couples should consider carefully before signing. 

They can provide financial security and clarity, especially when one or both partners have substantial assets or debts before marriage. Prenups can also help protect family inheritances or business interests, ensuring they remain within the family's control in the event of a divorce. Moreover, these agreements can establish spousal support terms upfront, potentially reducing the emotional and financial strain of divorce proceedings. However, it's important to weigh these benefits against the potential drawbacks, such as the perception of distrust or the rigidity that prenuptial agreements may introduce into a marriage, as we delve further into the pros and cons of these legal documents.
