A contract ensures a woman can keep her rights as well as prevent either party from being taken advantage of.

When a couple meets, it's practically impossible to know all the ins and outs of the other party even if you spend years doing it, because they don't live together.

All the benefits of a contract outweigh it's potential disadvantages. I pity the girl who goes into marriage without a contract. It might go well, but that's a very slim chance...
No, I'm asking what the point of a contract is.
How's a written agreement gonna help you, if it's not legally bounding?

Let's say my husband and I agree on something, when we're getting married. We both sign the contract. After marriage, he changes his mind on something. So I show him the contract he's signed? What next? He's gonna change his mind simply 'cause he had agreed to it before?
