Don't know how it works in India but North America pre nuptial agreements are routinely thrown out by the courts if the judge thinks they are "unfair" (code for saying that the women isn't able to loot enough).
one more sinister attempt to destroy families the bedrock of indian society.. already indian family laws are notoriously and ominously one sided.. with these kind of laws.. why would anybody want to marry?..not surprisingly most of these "women groups" are supported by USAID...
