Unit 9Section A. Premarital Agreements《读写教程Ⅲ》:Ex. II, p. 2491．First, a future husband wanted to be sure that he could keep his treasured ice-cream collection if his marriage failed. Second, a woman wanted to make clear who would walk the dog. Third, one man wanted to be entitled to a divorce if his future wife gained more than 15 pounds once she married him.2．A prenuptial agreement, or prenup, negotiated by lawyers and signed before a marriage, is mainly designed to deal with financial problems when divorce is insisted on by one party.3．Because more and more states began passing laws based either on “splitting evenly” or on “whatever a judge thinks is ‘fair’”. 4．First, a wealthy man who has been stung once may want to avoid such future problems. Second, protecting children from a previous marriage is a strong reason.Third, when one future partner is extremely rich while the other is poor.5．First, any language mistakes in a prenup, even a misplaced preposition, can be disastrous. Second, a prenuptial agreement signed underpressure can cause problems. Third, there can be a dispute over premarital accords if a couple decides to divorce while living abroad, or when they have different passports.6．Prenuptial agreements are almost ignored by British courts because English law says that circumstances of a marriage aren’t static, and therefore a judge should decide how financial assets will be divided. 7．For one thing, divorce rate in the US is very high, which is often accompanied by money p roblems. For another, laying bare all one’s finances can sometimes save a couple from a terrible marriage. 8．Because many people just put the prenup in a drawer and never look at it again after signing it.《读写教程Ⅲ》: Ex.
