So it would be a good idea to cover all your bases as it were when considering your Prenuptial Agreement. Particularly for women who live in Eastern Muslim countries, you cannot assume that because your country is governed for the most part by Muslim Law that your Islamic rights will be specified in this standard contract or that your rights will be protected if need be by your country's law. This may not be the case. The reason why the importance and the practical need for a Prenuptial Contract seems to be ignored by such a large segment of the Muslim population is simply beyond comprehension. The whole matrimonial relationship is based upon mutual agreement and consent of both the husband and the wife.
Nothing is carved in stone - everything can be changed, altered and amended.
All that is required is a certain amount of good will and a sincere desire to live happily ever after . As long as they do not contravene the laws of the country in which the contract was drawn up. 2. Even in a secular western sense, the Prenuptial Agreement is considered a useful tool because it imposes clear obligations and duties on the spouse, and this in turn can lead to less conflict and friction and can also cultivate peace and harmony within the marriage. In other words, a wife may acquire from her husband the authorization to divorce herself from him at any time without assigning any reason. For example and without going into great detail, Imam Abu Hanifah is of the opinion that a divorce cannot be declared without a good reason.
