Signing a Non-Halachic Ketubah

Question:

A friend has asked me to act as a "witness" and has requested that I sign a non-halachic ketubah. My question is, is this considered as just signing my name on a meaningless piece of paper, essentially my autograph, or is this not allowed as it is endorsing in a sense a non halachic ketubah? Thank you!

Answer:

A person can obligate himself for any some of money, There are those who have a custom of adding exorbitant sums of money to the kesuvah. (Much to the satisfaction of the father in law!)
