Post Nuptial

Something which takes place after marriage; as, a post-nuptial settlement, which is a conveyance made generally by the husband for the benefit of the wife. POST OBIT (Lat.) An agreement by which the obligor borrows a certain sum of money, and promises to pay a larger sum, exceeding the lawful rate of interest, upon the death of a person from whom he has some expectation, if the obligor be then living. 7 Mass. 119; 6 Madd. IJl; 5 Ves. 57; 19 Ves. 628; 62 Barb. (N. Y.) 95. Equity will, in general, relieve a party from these unequal contracts, as they are 192; 5 Sim. 524. But relief will be granted only on equitable terms; for he who seeks equity must do equity. 1 Fonbl. Eq. bk. 1, c. 2, § 13, note (p); 1 Story, Eq. Jur. i 344. See "Catching Bargain;" "Macedonian Decree."

The latter, when made without consideration, if bona fide, and the husband be not involved at the time, and it be not disproportionate to his means, taking his debts and 133.
