GL responds: The greatest assets the Goans have before they get marriage is their good looks and their egos. How does one claim those assets when the marriage breaks down?With or without the church, the men crawl back to their spouses saying, "Please take me back. I will stop smoking and drinking and will not complain about the fried fish. I will never again mention about my mother's cooking." Regards, GL ----------------- From: Roland Francis
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. -------------------- Frederick Noronha <fredericknoron...@gmail.com> wrote: Before marriage, partners can enter into a prenuptial or separation of assets agreement, drawing up a list of possessions that belong to each other. ?This agreement is irrevocable but has no bearing on the children who have equal rights to both parents? assets,? Shocked! But the Civil code in Goa provides for a prenuptial agreement. > https://blog.ipleaders.in/pre-nuptial-agreement-in-india-all-you-need-to-know/
