It's perfectly legal to sign away your rights to spousal support if that's what you want to do. Just put it in a "pre-nup" (prenuptial agreement). Non-Muslims do it all the time. Muslim women get dowries instead. Well, technically it's "bride price", or maybe it's mahr. islamfortoday.com If the marriage contract is in writing, and signed by the person against whom it is to be enforced, or their agent, it's enforceable. The practice of giving fathers custody, on the other hand, isn't enforceable, because here in the West we go by the "best interests of the child," but you are old enough to remember when women almost always got custody here. Yes, there are non-civil polygamous marriages here, too. Not just among Muslims, they do it in Utah as well.
