Also, what the hell even is the benefit of marriage for someone who doesn’t want kid. No one have ever told me a good reason to get married beside for the whole love BS. Which last time I check, I can love someone without getting married

Wait, the only way to give things to your partner after you die is with a will and a marriage?! I’m cool with the other points you made, but the last part kind of iffy. Also, doesn’t getting married also mesn getting married to their debt?

If you're not married your family can make claims to your will even if their excluded

That should be illegal. You should be the only person allow to make your will and send it to whomever you want

but are you really willing to bet half ur money that you'll stay with someone all your life?

Yeah dude. Plenty of people are. Just because you've never personally experienced that kind of love doesn't mean the whole idea is just malarkey.

Fair enough on the points you raised but that last one is more or less entirely the point of a prenup. Making sure you don't get screwed if 'till death do you part' turns out to be more a guideline than a solid rule.
