Why are they marrying someone who they don't trust? That sounds like an awful state of affairs and likely those marriages will not last. Don't most wedding vows include a line about being honest? Yikes to those marriages.

Yes and no. emotionally, its a bad idea. Rationally, it probably isnt an awful idea to hedge against a marriage not working out

That doesn't make sense. Rationally, hiding that money in secret is a reason that the marriage won't work out. Hide that money, tell lies, be a scheming and awful person, and there will be a self-fulfilling prophesy of that marriage not working out.

That may be true but most marriages don’t work out and they are not self-fulfilling prophecies.

While true, that's not really the point of the parent comment.
