For the love of God, if your sister puts a large portion of payment into a house or any investment for that matter, make sure that it is well documented and in WRITING. My sister just got divorced after 16 years of marriage and 4 children. Did she think that her marriage would fail? No.
My point is, people CHANGE. I also want to emphasize that people think that the law will "punish" the wrong doer. Make no mistake my friends, it won't.

I think it is better if it can come as an advisement from the lawyers or a condition in the parents' will(s) rather than the bride or groom directly.

Good point, 33. I also think that if people get married later in life, or perhaps it's not the first marriage, it might be an easier to topic to broach. Let's just say, I am considerably LESS idealistic than I was in my 20s!
