Hebrew term
Israel
מהות
Hebrew to English
Law/Patents
Law: Contract(s)
divorce contract
I'm never quite sure what this is in the context of a contract: the idea is that the parties sign fully understanding the contact, ramifications and מהות of the contract. What is the best translation here?
Thanks!

meaning
I think this captures the idea of understanding what the contract says without going into its particulars. Another option (which I like less) is "content[s]."
Note from asker:
| Thanks. But there's content, ramifications AND mahut. So it's obvioulsy something very specific. |

underlying understanding (or underlying intent)
Refers, in my opinion, to the basic nature of an agreement, or the initial intent of the parties. You may also consider "intendment," even though I wouldn't when it comes to mere agreements.
