Are marriage contracts biblical? — Yes, with wisdom; keeping one's word is a biblical principle
Question from Mahit (likely from India) about whether signing a pre-marriage contract is biblical.
The Bible does not specifically address marriage contracts but grounds them in broader principles: (1) a righteous person keeps their word even to their own harm (Ps 15:4), and (2) one should not be hasty in giving their word (Eccl 5:2). Marriage contracts are a culturally specific expression of the universal biblical value of covenant faithfulness. Sign only if it is wise; having signed, honor it.
