Can a Postnuptial Agreement Be Enforced In UAE Courts ?
A postnuptial agreement outlines the division of assets, marital property, income, debts, inheritance, and so on. It is the same as a prenuptial agreement — the only difference is that it is signed after a couple gets married.
A postnuptial agreement can be enforced in UAE courts as long as it meets certain criteria and you are an expat. Firstly, your postnuptial agreement must not contradict any UAE law. For example, since UAE’s Personal Status Law is based on the Islamic Shari’a law, there are legal provisions for divorce, marital assets and child custody. If your postnuptial agreement has conditions pertaining to child custody, it will be rejected by UAE courts.
The second condition is that the terms in the agreement are not unfair to the opposite party. The third is UAE law’s marriage contract. In the eyes of UAE law, a marriage is a contract and parties can add their conditions for divorce, assets, spousal support, etc to it. These conditions will be upheld by UAE courts as long as they are not in direct conflict with the UAE law and morals.
