Marriage contracts in Ukraine: a tool for ordinary families or an exception to the rule
Although marriage contracts have long been provided for under Ukrainian law, they continue to be perceived by the public as an exception rather than common practice.

However, judicial practice demonstrates a different picture: it is often families with average incomes that face protracted and painful disputes due to the absence of clearly defined property arrangements.
