Document background
The Adultery Prenuptial Agreement is a specialized legal instrument designed for couples in India who wish to establish clear consequences for adultery before entering into marriage. This document has gained particular relevance following the 2018 Supreme Court decision decriminalizing adultery, creating a need for civil remedies through private contracts. The agreement typically includes detailed definitions of adultery, financial consequences, property division arrangements, and evidence requirements. It's particularly suitable for high-net-worth individuals, public figures, or those with significant assets seeking to protect their interests. The document must comply with Indian contract law, personal laws, and constitutional principles while remaining sensitive to cultural and social contexts. Key considerations include enforceability under Indian law, protection of fundamental rights, and balance between parties' interests.
