An agreement signed before marriage is called a prenuptial agreement, while an agreement signed after marriage is called a marriage agreement, both having the same legal effect. According to Indonesian marriage law, for foreign nationals marrying an Indonesian citizen, if they wish to purchase real estate in Indonesia, they must sign a marriage agreement unless a prenuptial agreement has been signed before marriage. Since foreigners cannot own real estate in Indonesia, all purchased real estate must be in the name of the Indonesian spouse.
