Maggie Gallagher notices a court case in Kentucky in which an unusual pre-nuptial agreement was upheld.

Can the pre-nup turn into an instrument for strengthening the commitment of couples to permanent 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.”
