What is a prenuptial agreement?
A written agreement signed before or at the marriage that sets out who owns current and future assets, how they are divided on separation, maintenance and other matters. The UAE’s civil personal status laws for non-Muslims let spouses organise these matters in a written agreement the competent courts recognise.
