Part 4/13:
Some respondents question the religious and societal implications, with one stating that prenups might invalidate the sacred nature of marriage because marriage, in their view, involves a total surrender and commitment without strings attached. Conversely, the argument is made that dowy could be a better safety measure today—though it, too, is vulnerable to division upon divorce.
The conversation raises a compelling question: why isn't there a balanced system that protects both parties? One suggestion is to incorporate both dowy and prenups to address the shortcomings of each approach. The debate also touches on the role of government involvement, with some questioning whether state authority corrupts the sacredness of marriage.
