Don't marry in the US, folks. Especially when you are rich and succesful.
This is what you get when you wife up. Period.
And it has nothing to do with US. Both in common law and continental law it's the same formula:
x= your wealth the moment you filed for divorce.
y= your wealth the moment you got married.
Your wife gets= (x-y)/2.
You get the same from your wife. If one of you is rich, the other one is probably not working, and the chances are it's the husband who is rich, so there is nothing you can get from your wife. That's how you lose the half. (also you get to keep the earnings from your previous properties, the gifts and donations you got, your personal stuff and whatever cash you spent and stuff you consumed during the marriage) It's the same in Europe, Turkey, U.K, U.S.A etc. This is what you are signing up when you get married, you are knowingly agreeing to that if it doesn't work out you are going to give to her half of what you kept/bought from your earnings during marriage and she will give you half of hers. So I don't consider this a divorce rape. For all I care this is a getting consensually buttfucked by your wife.
The real divorce rape happens outside of theory, when you lose more than half due to intentional miscalculations of her lawyer, incompetence of your lawyer, how bad you settle, alimony, child support and (if you cheated) on judge's incentive. These are more likely to happen in common law (US, UK, Canada etc.) Also, just because you are a man you have to leave the house to her (usually for much lower than its real market value) and maybe a car too, if she needs. Actually, the moment she files for divorce, you have to move out of the house.
We've covered this issue many times. Prenup is not a solution, it gets overthrown by white knight judges. Living together without marriage is not a solution, judges rule on that she deserves alimony. The moment you let a woman through your front door with her suitcase, you are eternally damned. So don't do that.
