I feel that signing a pre-nuptial agreement signals to the girl that the guy does not trust her at all. The girl will know that money is an issue. If she is smart, she will still sign the pre-nuptial agreement and marry the guy. A divorce may take place say 5 to 7 years down the road. By this time, if the girl has a plan in place, she would have obtained the pink IC, completed at least a diploma or some other courses fully sponsored by her husband, and in the meantime, siphoned enough money from the husband to last her quite a while. That is on the assumption that the husband is an average income earner without any major assets. Therefore even if they are divorced, there is not much she can obtain from him anyway. Signing the pre-nuptial agreement gives at best cold comfort.
Now if the husband is a high net worth individual, the girl's most logical strategy would be similar to the above except that she should plan on sticking with him and not divorce him. What the hack, can live a tai tai lifestyle and yet open her legs to only 1 man. If the husband treats her badly, neglect her or something like that, she can always steal eat outside the same way the man can steal eat outside. The pre-nuptial contemplates events after a divorce. If they remain married in name only, the pre-nuptial is not worth the price of the paper it is written on.
