Ketubah, financial agreement, prenuptial agreement
peace,
I would like to ask a few questions regarding the wording of the ketubah, prenuptial agreements.
A ketubah from its position is the legal foundation of the marital relationship, halakhic validity, the application of the halachic laws of kiddushin, a contract between the couple of halakhic and legal obligations. In light of this, the traditional ketubah deals with one side, the man.
Do you know of a ketubah based on the assumption of Halacha – the amount of the ketubah, dower, mutual obligations as established by the Sages – and also on the principles of property division determined by state law, and an obligation on the part of the woman towards the man, emphasizing mutual obligation, and also prenuptial agreements. The wording of the ketubah does not correspond to the reality in which we live.
Also, do you recommend signing a prenuptial agreement?
Thank you very much.

I don't know if my first rant came through.
Anyway
1. Should I swallow the apparent decree and sign a “regular” ketubah? Think about both?
2. How did you conduct yourself in the private marriage you performed?
3. How can you sign such a document? Should I conclude from this that the document is irrelevant to my life and still sign such a document?
I think so. There is a binding law of a ketubah. As long as you have no other option, it is appropriate to write what is there. There is nothing wrong with that except that not everything is relevant. The principles of property division are binding by law, so it does not matter if you signed a different ketubah.
This is what I did in the marriage I performed.
