what i want to know is what do somali brothas have to even think of getting a prenup?

LadyKastumo,

What if she has very little or worse comes with a lot of debt and nothing works out. Why should I be held to her financial irresponsibility ?

Vice versa for the women. Why assume his financial debts ?

[LadyKastumo]

when making a huge step like marriage why would you marry a woman/men who is capable of running you dry?
if my spouse has financial debt and i could afford it i would pay but that doesn't mean i will not gain anything in the long run. It's a different case when married and there is a prenup because it doesn't come into play, however you said till death do you part.

LadyKastumo,

Just protecting your assets is always a smart idea
