Document background
The Post Prenuptial Agreement is a specialized legal instrument used in Saudi Arabia when married couples wish to formally establish their financial and property rights after their marriage has taken place. This document becomes particularly relevant when there are significant assets, business interests, or complex financial arrangements that need to be clearly defined between spouses. It must carefully balance modern financial planning with Islamic principles and Saudi Arabian law, including the Personal Status Law of 2022 and Sharia requirements. The agreement typically covers property division, financial obligations, business interests, inheritance considerations, and dispute resolution mechanisms. It requires careful drafting to ensure compliance with both civil and religious requirements, often necessitating input from both legal professionals and religious authorities. This document is particularly important for high-net-worth individuals, business owners, or couples with international assets.
