I think it is very unfair that a man divide his property with his wife after divorce and vice versa. But if these properties were got after the marriage, the situation is completely different and the man or woman should divide what they have. Unfortunately the law can’t distinguish between these two. Especially about the marriages that one of the spouses pretends to love, but they love the spouse’s money and property.
I have a question,
Can the spouses (no difference, man and woman) have a written agreement in a court or somewhere like that and sign that agreement that not to divide or share the property or money they own before marriage?
Do you know about the law of the United States of America about this issue?
Thank you.

i understand your question and think it is a very good question indeed ........
here is what a prenuptial agreement is all about ; you may want to read it ?:
A prenuptial accord is a contract between two people about to wed that spells out how assets will be distributed in the event of divorce or death. Such agreements have existed for thousands of years in some form or another, particularly in European and Far Eastern cultures, where royal families have always made provisions for protecting their wealth.

Understanding the prenup


It's an enchanted evening, and your dreamboat has just popped The Question: "Honey, will you sign a prenuptial agreement?"

Nothing can kill romance faster than the word "prenup." Check out this guide to the often-misunderstood agreement that is becoming more and more common.

1. Who needs a prenup?
2. Approaching the subject
3. Signs of a valid prenup
4. Follow proper legal procedures
5. Keeping the prenup up to date
6. Legal benefits of having a prenup

Not just for the rich
You don't have to be a Rockefeller or Trump to need a premarital agreement. A person who has managed to save $30,000 may be more protective of their little nest egg than someone who has millions.

"Those are sometimes the most jealously guarded assets because it has taken a lot of hard work to accumulate a small amount," says Joseph P. Zwack, an Iowa lawyer and author of a best-selling handbook "Premarital Agreements: When, Why and How to Write Them."

You should consider having a prenup if you fall into any of the following categories:

• You have assets such as a home, stock or retirement funds
• Own all or part of a business
• You may be receiving an inheritance
• You have children and/or grandchildren from a previous marriage
• One of you is much wealthier than the other
• One of you will be supporting the other through college
• You have loved ones who need to be taken care of, such as elderly parents
• You have or are pursuing a degree or license in a potentially lucrative profession such as medicine
• You could see a big increase in income because your business is taking off, or that garage band you play in has just gotten a contract with a big record company.

Well I am not an attorney but.... You can get a prenumptial agreement drawn up that each of you sign before the wedding that will declare what you would be entitled to if the marriage would fail.
Also, if you don't have that agreement in place and should you find you self in divorce court you can go through mediation and try to agree with your soon to be x-spouse as to who gets what property.
