Abstract
The laws of Kenya define a marriage as a voluntary union between a man and a woman whether in a polygamous or monogamous union and must be registered in accordance with the Marriage Act'. The Holy book defines marriage as an intimate and complementing union between a man and a woman where they become one body in flesh till death separates them from the legal definition and a sentimental approach to marriage it is not difficult to draw that, indeed marriage is a very important stage within one's life cycle. Therefore it is prudent for one to enter this union with a degree of legal and psychological preparedness. Hence prenuptial agreement is one such step towards preparedness.
