The research method used is qualitative with the approach Empirical law, involving interviews with notaries, ministries of the Ministry of Religion, and couples who made a marriage agreement in DKI Jakarta, East Java, Riau, and the Regency/City of Malang. The results showed that marriage agreements in Indonesia are still limited to the separation of assets and are widely carried out by couples with high legal awareness. Factors that influence this practice include economy, education, culture, and modernization.
