Awedlease is a proposed type of marital contract in which two spouses agree to a marriage of limited duration for a set period of time with renewal options.

The concept and term were introduced by a 2013 opinion piece in The Washington Post.[1] It has since been discussed in numerous other publications.[2][3][4][5][6] In 2011, lawmakers of Mexico City proposed introducing marriage contracts that lasted two years in order to assess compatibility and cut divorce rates.[7]
