Are prenuptial agreements forbidden?

Question:

Are prenuptial agreements forbidden?

Answer:

Although canon law does not mention the topic of prenuptial agreements, the Catholic Church teaches that marriage is the complete giving of the spouses to God through each other. Therefore, there can be no strings attached. A prenuptial agreement is a very big string!
