Family lawyer Marilyn Stone said: "The whole emphasis is on divorce reform - and I actually think we should be looking much more at marriage. I have to say if I was asked to enter into a 'pre-nup' I wouldn't."

I think if the couple wishing to marry had to blend families,
and/or there is a huge difference in assests and earning
power between the two, I would think a pre-nuptial agreement
is appropriate under those circumstances.

For myself, however, if I were asked to sign a prenup,
I would consider it a lack of trust on the part of my
potential spouse...that he does not trust me to
be fair in case our marriage were to break down.
It is this lack of trust which would hold me back
from marrying such a person.
