Not only this but also what will happen if the husband and wife separate then how will be the division of assets made. So it is a plan of how will the assets be divided upon divorce or how the assets and property will be controlled during the marriage life. So it is a financial contract that tells how a couple will manage the financial aspects of their marriage life.
