What Is an Antenuptial Contract?

An antenuptial contract (ANC) is a legally binding agreement concluded by two persons who intend to marry each other, which governs their matrimonial property system by determining how their assets, liabilities, and financial growth will be owned, controlled, and divided during the marriage and upon its dissolution through divorce or death.

Without an antenuptial contract, couples in South Africa automatically marry in community of property, meaning both partners share joint ownership of assets and liabilities.
