prenuptial agreement

Where it comes from

From prenuptial + agreement.

noun prenuptial agreements

  1. A legal document, signed by both parties before marriage, stating the legal claims on each other's estate upon a subsequent divorce. Not so long ago, prenuptial agreements raised eyebrows. What hope was there for a marriage, the thinking went, if even before the wedding the couple were specifying who gets what in case of divorce?
