How do we overcome the stigma of bringing up an islamic prenup?

Education is number one. The stigma comes from lack of knowledge. It comes from ignorance.

We don't understand that there's a dichotomy between American law and Islamic law. And the only way to fill that gap is through a prenup.

If we want our marriages and our divorces to be in line with Islamic law, we need a prenup.

A prenup doesn't have to be an all or nothing proposition. Many times what we hear is that, oh, I don't want a prenup because I'm not going to be protected or I'm going to be left out in the dust if there's a divorce. That's not necessarily true. You could agree in a prenup that you get half of everything.

Islam has freedom of contract where you can contract whatever you want. You can contract that your mahr is a million dollars and that if we get divorced that you're going to pay me a million dollars for each year that we're married.

So it's really up to you how you design your prenuptial agreement. As long as there's no gharar, meaning that there is no ambiguity in the enforcement of that contract.
