I have no doubts that the Civil Code in Goa originating from Portuguese rule provided for Prenuptial Agreements.
However, in my experience of married Goans, I have never come across an implementation of the Prenup on marriage breakdown. Could it be that the liberal concept of the Prenup was completely smothered by conservative Catholicism in the territory where no marriage breakdown was socially accepted and wherefore no Prenup was exercised. Somewhat like fencing the ducks in the lake leading them never to come on dry land. Roland.
