Here, if a prenup violates a law, it is un-enforceable (or so the courts have ruled in the past). No contract outside of the law is enforceable. Of course that only pertains if one of the two parties takes it to court when the marriage dissolves...

Most often, even in divorce court, the two parties will settle (reach an agreement) before it ever goes to court.

>As far as I know, in a prenup you can put whatever you want, there are no restrictions (those clauses that violate rights or the law of the country will be challenged in court anyways), so, let's say I write the whole Sharia law in the contract without calling it that name then the contract would be valid, wouldn't it? If you can do that, it might be just simpler to agree to abide the Sharia law

>>Huge difference. A prenup is entered into presumably by 2 adults on an equal footing. It's an ordinary legal contract based on contract law. Either party can refuse or agree. Sharia is pretty much always weighted against the female. And she is usually on far less than an equal footing. In Sharia, males are ascendent. It is also based on religious law rather than contract law. How does this resemble a prenup in any way?
