Document background
The Prenup For Unmarried Couples is a vital legal instrument in Nigeria's evolving social landscape, where cohabitation without marriage is becoming more common, especially in urban areas. This document addresses a critical legal gap, as unmarried couples lack the statutory protections available to married couples under Nigerian law. It should be used when unmarried partners plan to live together and wish to establish clear legal frameworks for their financial and property arrangements. The agreement covers asset division, financial responsibilities, property rights, and dispute resolution mechanisms, while accounting for Nigeria's unique legal system that encompasses statutory, customary, and Islamic law. It's particularly important for partners with significant assets, business interests, or complex financial arrangements who need clarity and protection in their domestic partnership.
