When Marilyn is talking poolside with her friend Sarah, the "ice" in their drinks is on the bottom of their glasses, not floating. [You can do this if there is enough ice and the glass is cold enough. For example, I generally like to chill my glass so I put the ice in a glass and put the glass in the freezer. A few minutes later when I put my drink in the glass the ice will remain almost stuck to the bottom and takes quite a while to float back to the surface.]

Marilyn set out to deceive Miles. Given the complexity of her fraud and the number of people involved he would have had little difficulty demonstrating to a court that her intent was to defraud him and thus invalidate the marriage. [Proving that she was out to get him, he would need evidence that she set up him. Most of the evidence would have been testimony with the other people she involved and I don't think Miles would have been able to convince them to testify on his behalf. In any case Miles may just not have thought about this plan of attack. Miles was pretty rash after the quick separation and tried to have her killed before trying anything else.]

As Marilyn and Miles return to their honeymoon suite, Marilyn stops as if something is wrong. She pulls out the pre-nup and tears it up. Later, Wrigley and Miles sit in the bar and realize that Howard is an actor, and so Marilyn is not richer than Miles. Miles then realizes that he doesn't have a pre-nup. The problem is, Marilyn would not be able to destroy the protections a pre-nup would provide Miles simply by tearing it up. [Miles probably had the pre-nup 'cancelled' (He'd know how) because Marilyn had, in his eyes, been the consenting party, so he'd think she did him a favour. The movie didn't have to show him doing the technical stuff needed to cancel it. The tearing up of the pre-nup was just the gesture for the audience's sake.]
