not, as many people wrongly think, impossible to have an antenuptial
contract if you are married in community of property Ð it is merely
unusual.
Hint on answering examination questions on antenuptial contracts
The term ``antenuptial contract'' is often abbreviated to ``anc''. In the
examination it would save you some time if you used this abbreviation
instead of writing ``antenuptial contract'' out each time. Please note that
the abbreviation is not written in capital letters.
