Marriage and Divorce

Home / My fiancée refuses to sign a pre-marital agreement stating that the apartment I have owned for several years already would remain solely mine if we married, and later divorced. Would my rights be at risk if further attempts to get her to sign fail, and we marry despite this ?

In principle, no, because under the 1973 Spouses’ Property Relations’ Act an apartment owned by one party before marriage remains their personal property , and is not included in the pool of communal property to be divided between them if they divorce.
