I am getting married in a few months. However, I want to have a prenup before I get married. I don't know if this is usual in Nepalese marriages these days and I don't know how the bride's family will react. How do you think I should bring this subject up and how is this done in Nepal?

Nepalese families are very simple. If you bring up this case, they might be scared to give their daughter to you. They might think you are thinking about divorce even before marriage. I believe you have a lot of cash and property. I think you should not jump into marriage right now. Love marriage is always the best. Don't do arranged marriage. Get to know somebody, when you like her, and start loving her; then marry her. You won't need prenup then. All the best on the success of your married life. Be happy, think less about future and you will be a happy man.

Prenuptial agreement not available and legal in Nepal and will not apply if you are concerned about properties in Nepal

 furke,

Thanks for the advice but it isn't a complete arrange marriage. We met through family friends and have known each other for about a year and it is also not that I have a lot of property and cash. Just don't want to loose what I have   I believe marriage is a partnership and as they say, before getting into any kind of partnership, you should plan the divorce, just in case..so things don't get messy later. Please offer any advice to talk about this subject and  how to get it done in Nepal.

thanks Yuvaraj.

can we do something similar legally in Nepal?

 Highly doubt Nepalese government has a provision for this sort of western practice. Chori maagna janda jutta le haanera pathaulan hai. Be careful! 

It depends on the laws of Nepal. In these moderns times i think pre nup is practical, these days human species are quite mystical. Although, I have not heard of cases in Nepal that one hears in USA, if the Nepal law allows it, some people might misuse it. Personally, i myself would not bother about it as i believe in my fate. But for those who want, this should be an option.

 I don't think there is such provisions in Nepal. What would you do if your future brother in law asks for a prenup before the wedding?. I might be wrong but I feel like you are more concsious about your assets than having a family. I would suggest you to wait before you feel comfortable and certain about a woman and then tie a knot. Till then, have fun different hookers (since you sound loaded). 

 If my future brother in law asks for a prenup, I'd totally agree. Its not that I'm more concerned about my assets than my family but I think one has to think of all the possibilities before getting married. I believe in being prepared. Its good have one and not need it rather than need one and not have it. Also, I'm not loaded and I'm not into hookers either.. 

Well I might be more on the conservative side on this issue but I have a feeling you are overthinking it. If you start thinking all sort of possibilities in future, you will never have a family. I am not trying to be rude here but you have to play a far game. You wanna marry a girl, have unlimited sex and hand her the prenup when you have some misunderstandings. This just doesnot seem right and honest to me. If you are so unsecure, do not marry that girl. You will ruin both of your lives. 
With that unceratinty swirling around your mind, why don't you transfer the assets in somebody else's name like your parents? I really think you should not marry that girl. You are having too many second thoughts. I dont know that girl and I sense a dark future for her with all these greed creeping in your mind.

busenitz,

I'm simply trying to secure my future. Believe me, right now, I love my wife to be. There is no one else I'd marry other than her...but, who has seem the future? Maybe we won't love each other anymore? what should we do then?

I think TheEvil Twin has a very valid concern. Lately, divorce is a trend in Nepali society. and funny thing about that is they get to keep what is inherited as well. In US , you will only split off what you earned after you were married but in Nepal , she gets half of the property. Lots of crooks have mastered this and some of them i have heard are even doing this intenally to

sorry, accidently hit the post button.. ya some of them are doing it for purpose. I have heard there are gangs who plan out this things step by step and file divorce withing the 1st year of marriage. accordingly to the Nepali law even after a day of marriage she gets to claim half of what is yours , plus what you inherited.
I heard there is a big mess with Australian students marrying just to get spousal visa in aus. the marriage i heard used to be set up by the consultancy but now there are lots of claims in court because they are registered marriage and property will have to be divided although it was done by some 19 -20 yrs old to get employment benefit.. i think he has a very good concern, and one should have no problem giving what is earned earned after the marriage but something that is earned by his father, grand father and grand grand father to give it away to someone who victimizes the person, why not be pro-active and not be victim. what if she cheats in day 2 and fks with her boy in front of you and next day files a claim on you half of your property , it is technically be done according to the Nepali law..

i think the evil twin has a very valid concern.

 The whole point is don't marry a girl you don't know. If you are marrying a girl you have no idea about, then yes she might fck her boy infront of you and file for a claim. How often do you see that in Nepal? Let's be honest. I am just suggesting him not to dive into a committment until he is comfortable enough. 
You guys have been in western world too long and forgot how your women are. Good luck with that mentality brother!!

some of us are not lucky to marry the girl you know. sometimes family friends/family etc hook the possible bride and groom up and they go from them. No body can be after someone all the time to know what's in their head and also people change , even after marriage. yes, 98 percent of the marriage might still last in Nepal and we are really lucky in that sense. but you never know when you're victimized by a gang. and technically yes, she can bang and boy next day of marriage in front of you,as long as she doesn't provide any proof and file a divorce and property claim right after that. law is law. and thats the law of Nepal

 well, if she commits adultury, Nepali law prohibits the provision of sharing the property with her in the divorce. correct me if I am wrong.

valid point

 wow...I think we have strayed way to far from the topic here. Do you think if I make a prenup in the US and get married in the US, I can use that as a legal document in Nepal?

wow...I think we have strayed way to far from the topic here. Do you think if I make a prenup in the US and get married in the US, I can use that as a legal document in Nepal? I think not- because of different jurisdiction. If you commit a crime in the US, would you be prosecuted in Nepal also? Probably not. But what do I know. Just guessing!
