Marriage Contract

Marital Regimes:

There are three marriage regimes that a couple need to look at to suit their finances and personal preferences namely:

• Married in community of property –all assets and liabilities are shared equally
• Married ante nuptial contract without accrual – where there is no sharing of assets and liabilities before or during marriage
• Married ante nuptial contract with accrual – where there is no sharing of assets and liabilities before the marriage , however, assets and liabilities acquired during the marriage are shared equally
