The foundation of marriage should be built on trust. But unfortunately in today's materialistic society circumstances have changed.

Prenuptial agreement is actually not practised in Islamic countries because in case of a divorce the separation or the settlement occurs according to the Islamic Shariah derived from the Qur'an and Sunnah. But here in the west, a prenup agreement is signed in order to protect someone taking your wealth unfairly.

A prenuptial agreement is a contract entered into by a couple planning to be married.

This contract specifies the individual rights of the couple to be married throughout the marriage and if their marriage should end.

This agreement should be in writing, signed by both parties, and sometimes signed before witnesses and entered into the court records.

Registration of this agreement may differ from country to country.

Prenuptial agreements are not only used to cover issues relating to wealth and property but also be used to safeguard your Islamic rights within marriage and, if necessary, in the case of divorce.

Here they can write down all the conditions they would observe in their married life including following Islam and Shariah and that conflicts will be solved by mediation and arbitration.

These prenuptial marriage agreements, duly signed by the couples can then be notarized.

Then the rights of couples according to their belief system will be guaranteed and practised in any condition everywhere in the world.

Prenuptial agreements come before the law of the land when conflict arises. So this is a nice opportunity for Muslims to guarantee their rights of Islamic belief and also to let Islamic law be applied to their family life.
Some clauses that Muslims have put in their contracts
A prenuptial agreement seems to give more strength to the Islamic marriage contract and the conditions mentioned therein.

Muslim men and women are allowed to put conditions in the marriage contract, provided that they do not contradict Islamic law.

Some of the examples that Muslims may put in writing in their marriage contracts:

• Both husband and wife agree to discuss all issues that arise in their marriage and arrive at mutually agreeable conclusions.
• Differences of opinion concerning a point of Islamic practice will be referred to the Quran and Hadith. Both will admit if they are simply expressing personal opinions, which will not be binding.
• None of them will have a right to physically hurt each other.
• That the husband will not require the wife to move out of her home town.
• Husband and wife both will share responsibilities of cooking, cleaning and other homemaking tasks.
• Income of husband and wife both will be pooled together in one account operable by each one individually with mutual consent.
• Husband will not exercise his option of another wife
• husband is the leader of the family who will run the family in consultation with the wife.
• Wife will not be required to work outside the home. If she chooses to work, she will be not be stopped from it and she will not be required to share that income for the family needs.
• Wife will not work to earn money without the consent of the husband.
• Wife will be solely responsible for homemaking.
• Children will be raised as Muslims in-home and through Islamic education.
• Home will be run Islamically as described in the Quran and Hadith
• A court granted divorce will be considered, Islamically, the first level of Talaq (divorce), which has room for remarrying the same person without any condition.
• Husband or wife will facilitate each other's Islamic work and will not stop each other from it.
• In case of a dispute, husband and wife will appoint one person each to arbitrate between them
• If either husband or a wife suggests marriage counselling, the other party must agree to it.
• Husband will not ask the wife to stop her Islamic practices like Hijab
• If anyone indulges in Haram (what is forbidden), it will be an acceptable ground for divorce.
• In case of divorce, children will be with the spouse mutually agreed upon.
• In case of any spouse's death, the surviving spouse will be responsible for the distribution of inheritance according to Islamic law.
• Family will not move out to another country without mutual agreement.

These are some examples but I strongly recommend that anyone who is considering putting conditions or any clauses in their marriage contract or working out a prenuptial agreement with their future spouse consult a qualified Islamic scholar as well as a Muslim lawyer well knowledgeable in marriage and divorce law of the land.
