What is this agreement?      
This is not a financial agreement! This is an agreement signed before marriage that includes various mechanisms that can ensure that if g-d forbid, you part ways, it will take place in an honorable and just fashion.

Why should you sign such an agreement?
Israeli law states that in order to divorce both parties must agree. If one side refuses, the other side may find themselves in a situation of "get-refusal" and "chained" to a marriage against their will. In this situation, financial blackmail is often used  in exchange for the get. The signing of this type of agreement is a declaration that your marriage will be based on the principles of equality, love, trust and mutual respect.

How does it work?
In cases of get-recalcitrance, the recalcitrant party will pay for every day of refusal and thus will have a financial incentive to agree and not refuse.
