Oh siwren, you want him to be fair to you, change the pre-nup and he refuses! I want YOU to be fair to YOURSELF and walk away! You are starting off, not together, but already apart, and on a serious, major issue. He will remain in control, as he currently is...trust me on this. Sadly, this is the predictor of your future.

Tell him you can not marry him because you can not agree to the prenup. If that does not make him change it, walk away because he apparently values money over you. Then again, why are you marrying him? For love or for the money he has?

He makes way more $$ than me, and it will ALL go to him...no community property, it is based on who PAYS for any item acquired in the marriage...it doesn't make any sense.
In India, prenuptial agreements are very rare and do not have any governing laws. However, with rising divorce rates people are showing increasing interest in prenups. Some lawyers are of the opinion that prenups don't have legal sactinity in India. However, some form of contract is signed in some cases, usually among affluent citizens. However, the agreements need to be reasonable and not violate pre-existing laws like the Hindu Marriage Act. Indian courts allow a memorandum of settlement to be signed during divorces. But, no court has yet been asked to enforce a prenup.[3] These agreements may come under the Indian Contract Act 1872. The Section 10 of the Indian Contract Act states that agreements are to be considered contracts if they are made by the free consent of the parties.[4] However, the Section 23 of the same act states that a contract may be void if they are immoral or against public policy.[5] …Wikipedia
In my opinion the need for a prenup is to protect personal property rights primarily. Neither party should consider anything not specifically shared as part of a contract. That is your personal property is your own and no one else. Your clothes, jewelry, money, life is your own. Your life, love, loyality and responsibilities should remain as your own. The choice of friends,acquaintances, manner of speaking, household duties and the sharing of mutual pleasures, benefits and indulgences should remain a matter of mutual choice and respect. Wealth may be given, received, rejected, denied, delayed, or redirrected but not taken as an open opportunity. Laws to be legal, binding and fair have never been written. Remove all conflicting potential and you may have a friend, comforter and confidant with or without a marriage contract. Thus there is no marriage or giving or receiving in marriage in Heaven.

Oh sweetheart, empower yourself and don't enter into this union. The fact that you know he is asking for a pre-nup should make you want to run in the other direction. Always make sure that you can provide for yourself and you will never have to count on someone else for financial support. I've instilled this concept in my own daughter and she is doing well. Seek out other strong women and ask for advice and help. Good luck.

Sounds like you don't think this marriage is going to last in the first place. Why bother? Get you own place and buy some furniture at a thrift store. You don't need a selfish man who doesn't trust you (or care about you very much) and he doesn't need a woman who is more concerned about furnishing her apartment after the divorce.
