Boris:

So the message is not to marry an american feminist? I have no problem with that. There are many women who fit this bill, yet you may not find as many in a university.

An issue all to itself. If you trust the person you will be marrying not to cheat on you, and to stay with you for quite some time, then I would agree with you.

However, many people don't trust their partners, or don't even know them all that well before getting married. They feel a biological imperitive to have children and nothing more, driving them to get married.

That's how marriages go south. Guy marries woman to be his boring housewife and pump out 2 kids. Yeah, that's real grounds for a marriage - 10 years later guy gets bored with housewife with whom he has nothing in common.

And as for this foil hat-wearing colunmnist, his lack of understanding about the oppression of women thoughout the ages is exceedingly vulgar.

He has a couple of decent points, but over all, this columnist is living in a fantasy land. I don't worry about prenups cause I wouldn't cheat...


it has nothing to do with you cheating. she could cheat on you and still take everything you own. esp. if she has a good divorce lawyer.

I would never get married without a pre-nup. If she loves me, she would get it

Yep. When it comes to divorce, it's quite one sided (usually).

Call me a romantic, but I think, for the most part, if you feel like you need a prenup, you shouldn't be getting married.

I have to say, the German girls I met definately had a different...well, way of looking at things, for lack of a better term. I tended to find them much more thoughtful than American girls.

Assuming you could fake a marriage (most people are aware that both parties have to sign a marriage license) AND the state you are in has a statutory prohibition on common-law marriages, then your wife would probably prevail on the grounds that she relied on the marriage ceremony in good faith.

Just get a pre-nup, Dis. Of course,watch out because not every state will enforce those. Texas won't, for example (but Texas is also a no alimony/palimony state).

And you probably won't get custody of the kids regardless - you cannot contract around the best interests of the child...

Tired of ads?

I think that endorsing such a message is suicidal, in terms of the human race, but it definetly has a point.

I didn't mean a fake marriage as in duping the woman into thinking it is real (though I did hear about a case like that on the radio- not very believable though)

I mean have a ceremony as usual- with reception. But just don't make it official. That way a woman can have her beautiful wedding in front of her friends and family, and her ring binding her love to her husbands. After all, that is what women really want- right? I'm sure they aren't interested in the capability half a man's possessions.
