According to reports, Tiger Woods' prenup would have guaranteed Elin $20 million after 10 years of marriage. But she could get a $5 million payout instantly.

I guess flowers won't work this time. I see marriage going in this direction, transforming into a mere business transaction, once we toss all of the religious/cultural baggage overboard.

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. The combination of no-fault divorce and community property/alimony is untenable: It should be one or the other. Imagine a guy or girl getting married, working hard for the other spouse, and then their spouse deciding to split.

Pre-nups are one response.
