[Avodah] validity of ketubahs if .....

rbw: Perhaps one of the lawyers on the list can comment, but I had
always understood that when someone signs a contract, he is bound to
it. It matters not one bit if he read the contract, understood the
contract, understood the legal principles behind the contract. You
sign, you're in. And that is why when one signs a contract, it is a
very good idea to understand what you are signing.





HB1: What you write may or may not be true in secular law, but what about torah law?


HB2: What about a verbal contract? (As rzsero pointed out to me only the eidim sign, but not the bound parties.)


HB3: What if you were misinformed my your attorneys, accountants, advisors,
etc, as to the extent of your obligations? Even if you are ultimately
found by to be legally bound by what you signed/verbally
agreed to, wouldn't you have ultimate recourse against those who either failed to advise you properly or (chas veshalom) misinformed you  for
their own [conscious or unconscious] purposes?


HB4: Are choson or kallah classes considered adequate enough to make one properly aware of their rights/ obligations? 


HB5: What about someone who is not religious, etc., and who doesn't attend a choson or kallah class? How obligated is he/she? 



HB
