Bride-to-be's pre-nup from fiancé gets alarm bells ringing with bizarre clause

A pre-nup may not scream 'romance' in the traditional sense of the word, but they are becoming increasingly common.

Where star-crossed lovers once took a leap of faith before tying the knot, modern romance now has savvy couples looking to protect their assets - just in case "happily ever after" doesn't exactly pan out that way.

However, despite being firmly "all for them", one bride-to-be has found herself a little alarmed by some clauses in the pre-nup her fiancé, a successful neurosurgeon, has presented her with.

Alarm bells started ringing while she went through the legal document with her fiancé's father, who happens to be a lawyer.

Turning to Reddit for some casual legal advice, she explained: "My fiancé put a few odd clauses in our prenup, such as an infidelity clause so if I cheat on him, I walk away with basically nothing."

That doesn't sound completely outlandish to us, but then it gets a lot weirder.

The "oddest of them all" to the unnamed woman is the "compensation for children clause."

She continues: "I am not sure if I interpreted this correctly so anyone may correct me, but in the prenup my fiancé mentioned that for every child I have for him, I get a chunk of money., which to me doesn't sound legal but maybe it is?"

But that's not all. Her charming husband-to-be then added in a WEIGHT-LOSS clause.

The woman explains: "He put in a clause that stated that I have to lose any weight I gain after child birth, at least 30lbs of it in the first year following childbirth."

According to BabyCentre getting your body back to "normal" (which may not even be entirely possible) after having a baby in a safe and healthy way can take between six to eight months, but could take longer.

Following this particular bombshell, a huge number of the responses urged the woman to hire her own lawyer, someone is is NOT her father-in-law.

There were also some valid points about making sure the clause went both ways.

"I would add to it that if the husband also gains 30 pounds and does not lose it within a year then it invalidates the requirement on her. It should be equal on both parties. Same thing with the cheating clause and any other rule,” one response read.

"I were in your shoes, I’d want a counter clause saying that he needs to provide childcare and a personal trainer, nutritionist and chef to come to your home while you’re trying to meet his unrealistic expectations," another added.
