[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your friend wants to control the uncontrollable and unknowable.

Asking a potential DIL or SIL to sign a pre-nup would send any self respecting person running for the hills.

Asking a child's intended family by marriage to pony up money for a house, even if you're matching the amount is crass.[/quote]

Well, legally speaking, it's not uncontrollable. [/quote]

Unless you bought a house outright, it would be difficult to gift a large sum of money with the requisite that it go for a down payment on a house.

Parents of an intended bride or groom to spelling out these stipulations in a pre-nup would be beyond weird.  They would have to convince their adult child to sign it as well as the intended spouse since it's an agreement between individuals.  It would not obligate the other family to do anything monetarily in any way either.

I think OP's friend would have been better off in feudal times, trading a fat goat and a sack of barley.[/quote]
