In re Marriage of Noghrey
Citation:
169 Cal. App. 3d 326, 215 Cal. Rptr. 153 (1985)Facts
Kambiz and Farima Noghrey were married for only seven and one-half months before Farima filed for divorce. On their wedding day, moments before the ceremony at the hotel venue, Kambiz’s brother Jamshid approached Frances Kandel, a family friend with whom Farima had lived for two years, and dictated terms of a premarital agreement. Mrs. Kandel wrote on the reverse side of the ceremonial wedding certificate: “I, Kambiz Noghrey, agree to settle on Farima Human, the house in Sunnyvale, and $500,000.00 or one-half of my assets, whichever is greater, in the event of a divorce.” Mrs. Kandel brought the document to Kambiz for his signature, cautioning him about giving away half of everything he owned. According to Mrs. Kandel, Kambiz indicated he would gladly give the property to his bride-to-be and appeared serious. Both parties signed the document with witnesses present. Farima testified she signed because Iranian cultural norms required a husband to provide protection for a wife in case of divorce, as divorced women who are no longer virgins face difficulty remarrying. Kambiz testified he was coerced by Farima’s mother, who allegedly threatened there would be no wedding if he did not sign, though witnesses disputed this account.
