In India, a prenuptial agreement is legally binding if your marriage is under the Special Marriage Act. You’ll need your marriage certificate, IDs, address proof, and the signed agreement with witnesses. The clauses that go against public policy, children’s rights, or seem unfair might be void. It is advised to consult a lawyer to ensure everything in order. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
