Maggie Gallagher notices a court case in Kentucky in which an unusual pre-nuptial agreement was upheld. It provided that the husband's financial liability to the wife would be higher if he sought a divorce for grounds other than adultery. Can the pre-nup turn into an instrument for strengthening the commitment of couples to permanent marriage?
Isn't a prenuptial agreement an impediment to marriage?
Sounds like a question for Pete!
I believe this came up before on Pete's old blog and the answer was something like "not necessarily."
