In Orthodox Jewish tradition, they ALWAYS have a prenup. It’s not as technical or wordy as one a lawyer would draw up but the idea that prenup=easy divorce is flawed. The divorce rate in Orthodox Jewish communities is very, very low.
Having said that, if it’s a first marriage for both parties, why do you need a detailed pre-nup? OTOH, if one or both parties have children from a prior marriage, it would be stupid NOT to have a pre-nup for the sake of your children.
I'm learning much on this thread. Can you or another knowledgeable FReeper share more background on this with me? I'm seriously intrigued.
