Making a prenuptial agreement in Indonesia can help you protect premarital assets and plan for the unexpected, as you enter your marriage relationship. Prenuptial agreements are often considered by individuals who own businesses, or other valuable assets, prior to marriage, and parties who are getting married for a second time and want to preserve their estate for their children. A prenuptial agreement must be substantially fair, and executed in a procedurally fair manner.
Prenuptial agreement is a contract entered into prior to marriage or civil union by the people intending to marry. A prenuptial agreement can help protect your assets and save you a lot of stress in your marriage.
The content of a prenuptial agreement can vary widely, but commonly includes provisions for division of property and spousal support in the event of divorce or breakup of marriage.
Under the Indonesian Law it is regulated in article 29 Law Number 1/1974 regarding marriage. Usually agreements were made to give legal protection toward spouse’s properties, though the law does not regulate the objective/s of prenuptial agreement. Content of the agreement is up to the parties and it enters into force since the marriage is registered in Civil Registry.
Without prenuptial agreement, separation of property between spouses is disregarded. Any property incurred during the marriage will be collective property. Therefore in the event of divorce, the division of property tends to be the most complicated dispute between the couple.
