They may not have signed anything, but there is a legal landscape that governs their entitlements and obligations should they separate. A marriage contract is used to modify some of the laws that would otherwise apply. For many people, those laws are overall fair. For others, modifications to the law are more appropriate. This is where marriage contracts become important.
