[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many people are putting in penalties for female weight gain and withholding sex in a marriage contract. Husbands are prohibited from infidelity.

Adding a few extra pounds can cost more than the price of a new wardrobe. One wife's prenuptial agreement limited her weight to 120 lbs. Penalty for being over the fighting weight: she gives up $100,000 of her separate property.

Another prenuptial agreement included a $500 fine for each excess pound the wife gained. All's fair in lifestyle clauses - one wife added a maximum weight stipulation of 180 lbs. for her husband.[/quote]

I think this makes a LOT of sense.  Many of these are really big deal, but the fog of being "in love" means such details are not always discussed. So instead of an explicit conversation, and written agreement, the couple blindly assumes that whatever "status quo" was established prior to marriage will be maintained.  Then later on, some form of "bait and switch" occurs but there is no recourse. Even if the legal basis is weak, I think this allows partners to make clear exactly what's important to them long term[/quote]
