The contents of Ari Wibowo and his wife Inge Anugrah’s prenuptial agreement became a hot topic after their divorce was announced. This turned out to be related to financial matters. Yes, Ari Wibowo previously filed his divorce lawsuit at the South Jakarta District Court on April 3, 2023. The prahara household of both of them became the public spotlight after the news emerged about Inge who was never given a living by her husband. Not only about Inge not being given monthly money, the public also highlighted the pre-marital agreement between Inge and Ari Wibowo. Inge admitted that a prenuptial agreement did exist, but that was what she regretted. According to Inge, the prenuptial agreement was something that went wrong in her life. “That’s something wrong again from my life experience. Hopefully this can be a lesson for friends, don’t be too pissy, yes,” she said. How come? What was the content of their prenuptial agreement that made Inge regret it? Let’s take a look at the following review.
What is Ari Wibowo’s Prenuptial Agreement?
Inge Anugrah admitted to signing a prenuptial agreement without reading it first. This is what she regrets after 17 years of marriage and having children with Ari Wibowo. In fact, the prenuptial agreement is written about financial management in the family. The agreement clearly states that there is no joint property after Ari Wibowo and Inge Anugrah got married. So that during marriage, the money Ari makes is for himself and Inge’s money is only for her. This prenuptial agreement made Inge regret that she did not pay attention to the contents of the agreement. “I signed but didn’t read the contents to read because the name marriage is definitely forever,” said Inge. “So just sign it, I want to prove to Ari too, not for wealth but for love,” she continued. Inge also wants her life story to be a lesson for women everywhere not to not read prenuptial agreements and harm themselves. In response, Ari himself said that the existence of a prenuptial agreement is actually very useful to protect his wife and all financial losses from Ari’s business ambitions. According to him, the existence of a prenuptial agreement makes all his debts not a burden on his wife. In his statement, Ari also advised that don’t look at this agreement from the bad side, because most modern families already have this agreement. So, if you think this agreement is important, but haven’t had time to make it, you can make a similar agreement called a post-wedding agreement.
How are assets stipulated in a prenuptial agreement?
A prenuptial agreement is an agreement made by a prospective couple before entering into a marriage. This agreement is made upon the agreement of the prospective husband and wife to separate assets when married. In addition, there are several other things that are regulated in a prenuptial agreement, including:
- Marital assets, whether they are acquired through the efforts of each other or through grants or inheritance;
- All debts and receivables that a husband or wife brings into their marriage, so that they will remain the responsibility of each or the responsibility of both with certain restrictions;
- The wife’s right to manage her movable and immovable personal property and to enjoy the proceeds and income from her own work or other sources;
- The wife’s authority in managing her property;
- Revocation of wills and other provisions that can protect the wealth and business continuity of each party,
Thus, it can be seen that the existence of a prenuptial agreement not only eliminates the status of joint property between husband and wife, but also eliminates the existence of joint debt. When one spouse takes out credit to finance business or other consumptive matters, the credit debt will become his or her personal debt. In the event of default, the creditor will only seize assets written in the name of the debtor spouse. Similarly, if there is a process of buying and selling shares by one of the parties, the absence of a prenuptial agreement will certainly make the company shares purchased become joint property which when a divorce occurs, the shares can become gono-gini property. When one of the spouses must sell shares of the company owned, then of course he must first ask for approval from his partner. Unlike the case if he has a prenuptial agreement, then he can sell the shares at any time he wants freely.
Learning from Ari Wibowo’s Case: The Importance of Understanding the Content of Prenuptial Agreement Well
Now, we already know how exactly the provisions of property in a prenuptial agreement. But apart from that, there are interesting things that must be considered by all parties regarding prenuptial agreements, namely the importance of understanding the contents of the agreement properly. Yes, although every couple wants their marriage to run smoothly and happily, making a prenuptial agreement is worth considering as an anticipation of conflict over property, if something unwanted should happen in the future. So, if you and your partner really love each other and are sincere, there should be nothing to worry about making this agreement. No need to get carried away and offended, because this is also important for your future. Not only that, no matter how much we trust and love our partner, but when dealing with agreements and laws, we must be able to carefully understand a document and not just sign it. Moreover, a pre-nuptial agreement is a letter that is official and binding, and has received protection and support from the government legally and is contained in Law (UU) No. 1 of 1974 concerning marriage.
