The introduction of relevant provisions into the Civil Code of Georgia in 1997 established a legal foundation for the formal regulation of property relations between spouses. Nevertheless, the practical application of this institution remains extremely limited in Georgia. This study combines legal, comparativelegal, and psycho-social analyses and aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the existing regulations and barriers related to prenuptial agreements in the Georgian context, compared to international practice. Normative and comparative-legal methods were employed in the research. The current regulations of the Civil Code of Georgia were evaluated in terms of their substantive fairness, equality, and protection of the best interests ofthe child. In parallel, the legal frameworks of Germany, Hungary, and Poland were analyzed to identify elements of European practice that could be adapted to the Georgian legal context. The legal analysis is complemented by an overview of precedents from Courts, as well as the psycho-social significance of the effective functioning of prenuptial agreements. The study concludes that prenuptial agreements in Georgia currently lack both legal clarity and social legitimacy. To ensure the effective functioning of this institution, it is necessary to refine the legislative framework, enhance the explanatory component of the notarial process, and integrate the practice more fully into the Georgian legal system.  \nKeywords: Prenuptial agreement; European Union; European Court of Human Rights  \n1. Introduction  \nThe institution of the prenuptial agreement constitutes a notable advancement within the realm of Georgian private law, having secured a stable position in the national legal system (Shengelia & Shengelia, 2018) . The reform of the Civil Code of Georgia in 1997 laid the normative groundwork for the regulation of marital property contracts, thereby significantly expanding the legal flexibility available to spouses in managing their property relations (Javakhishvili, 2016) .  \nDespite the presence of a formal legal framework, the practical implementation of prenuptial agreements in Georgia remains markedly limited and continues to encounter substantial obstacles. This limited application may be attributed to a combination of factors, including the fragmented nature of existing legal norms, socio-economic constraints, and entrenched psychological and cultural biases within society. Such biases often give rise to a negative perception of prenuptial agreements as incompatible with the moral and emotional foundations traditionally ascribed to marriage (Kilian, 2020) . In Georgian cultural discourse, the prevailing narrative continues to frame these agreements as  \nantithetical to the \"sanctity\" of marriage, frequently associating them with mistrust and an anticipation of marital dissolution (Luhmann, 1985) .  \nIn the current context—characterized by a growing number of property disputes, familial conflicts, and rising divorce rates (Statistical Office of Georgia, 2023)—the prenuptial agreement has the potential to serve as a vital legal instrument that contri","cbCaitDLblcGHDtV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitDLblcGHDtV","pdf",513823,9,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Legislative framework and implementation barriers\n## Comparative legal analysis and European trends\n## Research objectives and guiding questions","[{\"question\":\"What legal foundation did Georgia establish for prenuptial agreements in 1997?\",\"answer\":\"Georgia introduced provisions into the Civil Code in 1997, creating a legal basis for formal regulation of property relations between spouses.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is prenuptial agreement use limited in Georgia?\",\"answer\":\"Practical implementation remains markedly limited due to fragmented legal norms, socio-economic constraints, and entrenched psychological and cultural biases that negatively frame prenuptial agreements.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the study recommend to improve the functioning of prenuptial agreements in Georgia?\",\"answer\":\"It calls for refining the legislative framework, strengthening the explanatory component of the notarial process, and integrating practice more fully into the Georgian legal system.\"}]","Legal and psychological challenges of prenuptial agreements in Georgia - An analytical overview | PDF",1789583190]
