My fiancé and I are getting married, and I'm a US citizen while they're from India. We're considering a pre-marital agreement. Will a pre-marital agreement drafted in the US be recognized in
Here's the deal with pre-marital agreements (prenup) for your situation:
No Legal Recognition in India: Currently, India doesn't have specific laws that govern prenups. Courts in India generally don't recognize prenups drafted and signed outside of the country.
Postnuptial Agreements as an Option: India does recognize postnuptial agreements, which are agreements signed after you get married. This could be an alternative approach to consider.
Consult with Lawyers in Both Countries: It's important to consult with both a US lawyer familiar with Indian law and an Indian lawyer to understand your options and potential implications. They can advise on whether a US prenup might have any persuasive value in an Indian court even if not legally binding, and explore the possibility of a postnuptial agreement after your wedding in India.
