Document background
The Prenuptial Agreement After Marriage (Postnuptial Agreement) became legally recognized in Indonesia following the Constitutional Court Decision No. 69/PUU-XIII/2015, which overturned the previous restriction limiting such agreements to only before marriage. This document is particularly useful for married couples who wish to establish clear property rights and financial arrangements after their marriage has already been registered. It's commonly used when there are significant changes in financial circumstances, business ownership, inheritance, or when couples simply wish to modify their original property arrangements. The agreement must be properly executed before a notary public and registered with relevant authorities in Indonesia to be legally binding. It typically includes detailed provisions about asset division, business interests, inheritance rights, and debt obligations, while ensuring compliance with Indonesian marriage law and civil code requirements.
