Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “(1) Was the agreement obtained through fraud, duress, or mistake, or through misrepresentation or nondisclosure of material facts? (2) Is the agreement unconscionable?

2. “Recent ease law of this Court supports Husband’s contention that parties are free to contractually alter the obligations which would otherwise attach to marriage. In Stork v. First Nat’l Bank of South Carolina, 281 S.C. 515, 516 , 316 S.E.2d 400, 401 (1984), this Court held that antenuptial agreements “will be enforced if made voluntarily and in good faith and if fair and equitable.... Such contracts are not opposed to public policy but are highly beneficial to serving the best interest of the marriage relationship.””
