Who Opts Out? The Customisation of Marriage in the German Matrimonial Property Regime.

Unlabelled: This study examines the prevalence of marital contracts across marriage cohorts (1990-2019) in Germany. We further investigate the characteristics of spouses who signed a marital contract. Using cross-sectional data from the German Family Panel (pairfam, 2018/19), we employ complementary log-log and multinomial logistic regression models to predict the prevalence and the type of marital contracts.
