It doesn't matter what they understand.???  The  terms of the kesuba are
binding even if there is no document at  all.......

hb: the ketubah is binding (or not) on what grounds??  contractual, legal, 
or other????

isn't a ketubah is a binding legal  contract between 2 willing parties? if 
either or both of the parties don't  understand it, why would it binding???

I don't understand your question.  It's the same  in all legal systems, 
very much including America.  If you put your  signature to a contract or any 
legal document, the contract is  binding.  Your later claim that you didn't 
understand what you were signing  or that you were in too much of a hurry to 
read it won't get you out of  it.  The only way you might possibly get out 
of a legally binding contract  would be if you could prove that there was 
deliberate deception or fraud.
