Simeone v. Simeone is an ideal case for inclusion in this volume because of its breadth and its timing. The overarching question presented by Simeone was whether courts should treat signatories to prenuptial agreements (notably women) just like any other contracting parties or whether courts should scrutinize prenuptial agreements more carefully than ordinary contracts. In considering this question, the case addressed the intersections of women’s relative rights and status within both private contracts and intimate relationships, and also public economic, social, and political systems.
