Marriage contracts and the Austrian Supreme Court (OGH)
Marriage in itself is a contract. With a prenuptial agreement, you can at least have a say in what is written in the contract.
Open marriage?
From time to time, people want to agree sexual freedom in a marriage contract, but what is the legal situation?
Prenuptial agreement: Permissible content
When you get married, you enter into a real contract. Marriage is a contract. Even a white dress or a wedding cake does not change that. Many people only realize what mutual rights and obligations there are in a marriage when the relationship takes a turn. If you want to get married but still want to have a say in what should apply in the event of a divorce, you have the option of concluding a marriage contract, i.e. an advance agreement for the event of divorce.
