A pre-nuptial agreement (commonly called a “prenup”) is a written contract made by two people before they marry, outlining how their property, finances, and responsibilities will be handled during the marriage and in the event of separation or divorce.
In Kenya, pre-nuptial agreements are recognized under the Matrimonial Property Act, 2013, giving couples the right to determine how their property will be treated in marriage. This is especially important for:
Protecting pre-marital assets
Safeguarding family or business inheritances
Clarifying financial responsibilities
Avoiding future property disputes
A well-drafted prenup encourages transparency and communication between partners while reducing the likelihood of drawn-out legal battles in the future.
