Any contract can be invalidated on that grounds. If I sell my land with a gun to my head, that's a good reason to discard the bill of sale. If a party lies about their state of mind afterwards, that's perjury.
- ninetyninenine 2y agoFalse. Not any contract can be violated if signed under duress. This is not gun to your head level duress. You go to your fiance and ask her to sign a prenupt two hours before you guys tie the knot and threaten to end the marriage if she doesn’t sign… that counts as duress. Heard a story of a lady who delayed the signing of a prenuptial until such a situation occurred. She delayed and delayed until she would sign, while sobbing, an hour before they tie the knot in front of witnesses. The man ended the marriage right there because of this law.
- projektfu 2y agoI dunno, if it didn't happen to you, perhaps you put too much credence into one side of a story. In the first story, you have someone who surprises the other person with a prenup moments before a hugely important event that has already involved considerable expense. In the second story, there has been no operation of law. Probably the dude, if he really exists, should have gotten the signed prenup before getting the wedding scheduled.
