Although the institution of a marriage contract has been around for a while, it is still not widely accepted in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The mindset of those who think "love and contract are incompatible categories" is the biggest barrier to this institution's development. There is a belief that considering divorce while getting married is improper and irrational. However, this is really a cover for the occasionally poor legal culture and lack of practicality. Naturally, there was no pressing need for a marriage contract during the Soviet era because there was nothing to share. However, despite incorporating market relations, this institution continues to be despised. In this essay, we'll examine the factors that make marriage contracts unpopular with people in general.
