I ve heard people say something like, they married on contact bases or i married to help him or her. Do people actually carry out something like that. What is your stand on the issue.

They are, in fact before you get married it is wise to declare your assets so there are no fights upon the occassionof a divorce.

That's why so many people get screwed. That's why so many people put all their assets under a Trust, it can't be touched.

that's why you enter into a Prenuptial Agreement, before the Marriage contract.

Hi! Dio!

in the very doubt i will marry again ..i wouldnt need one ... i know what i have to start with and he knows what he has i would nOt want his things if we broke up and everythng we got together just gets sold or split .... If a marriage has to be contracted other than signing the marriage papers then it feels like a buisness deal to me not a joining of to people who love each other.. but thats jmo ....wine

Here in the Caribbean, I am always getting offered large amounts of money to marry the sister of a fellow worker so that they can get a citizenship in the US. It used to happen a lot, but they are not making it as easy as it once was. I am talking thousands of dollars here.
Not for me but some people do it. Is this the type of contract marriage you are talking about ? cool

Are you talking about marriage for convenience? That's what it sounds like to me. It's illegal, you know, but people still do it.

it's illegal and it is everywhere in certain US cities

Jeepers-it runs wild here-if you know//associate//work with anyone who is an illegal


thought long and hard about it once though 15,000 is a lot of money for me--end the end i would not risk federal prison


now if it were something like a pre-nup-take it from mel gibson--don't leave home without one

Heard that women from overseas marry men in the USA and they make a contract to get married so she can become a US citizens then annul the marriage instead of getting a divorce.

Sometimes loves comes slowly. All this frantic instant chemistry between two people is largely lust. Sometimes you have a single father who has to work and just can't cope with that and kids so someone helps him out and over time they become close. That might make for a more lasting relationship, based on actual daily life rather than just the "Wow" factor.

Even arranged marriages work, based on shared values, interests, respect, etc.


Something to think about.

Good post....I've seen many arranged marriages that have succeeded; not that I'd want one - too old, too set in my ways, too cynical to believe in something I've failed in more than once to hope such a contract could work for me.
