Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L’expression contrat de mariage possède un sens générique et s’entend de l’accord écrit que deux personnes concluent, avant leur mariage ou au cours de leur mariage, relativement à leurs droits et obligations d’ordre pécuniaire pendant le mariage ou en cas de séparation, de dissolution du mariage ou de décès de l’une d’elles. 4, record 1, French, - contrat%20de%20mariage%20postnuptial
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
On tend généralement à utiliser l’expression générique contrat de mariage et à préciser seulement au besoin s’il a été conclu avant ou après le mariage. Notons que le contrat de mariage passé avant la célébration du mariage porte le nom de contrat en vue du mariage, cette appellation étant toutefois peu courante. 4, record 1, French, - contrat%20de%20mariage%20postnuptial
