I went to a Conservative Jewish wedding in NYC a few decades ago. They had the contract on display and showed the groom the bride before the ceremony, so he could verify that this was the woman he had contracted to marry. I really enjoyed the wedding, it was so different for this goyisha girl.

Which means once again social service and the tax payer will pick up the burden of his ex wife and his many children.
Like they weren’t supported during their marriage. State recognizes the mother as a single parent with children allowing social services even though her and her husband are married within the religion

Rather than litigating alimony, these contracts protect a woman from becoming an “agunah” — which translates from Hebrew as “chained woman” — by compelling her husband to grant a Jewish writ of divorce, or “get.”

Such contracts aren’t really a new thing; they’ve been around for decades. The idea that they may be controversial seems to be much more recent.

Under the Halachic mutual arbitration agreement, which was written in 1994 by a head of the Jewish court Beth Din of America, a husband’s refusal to grant a get would be penalized with a $150-per-day fine, or nearly $55,000 annually.

I'm not Jewish, but there was a time when I could have appreciated a contract like this. Mine took 7 years and half killed me until I deployed a Wall St Journal article about women getting 5- and 6-figure settlements for "abuse of legal process." Would have been over in one if I had a pre-nup.
