He couldn't write a book, so he wrote his marriage contract/ vows


Explanation:
He wrote his marriage contracts.
For myself, since the topic is marriage, I'd prefer: he couldn't write a book. So, he wrote his vows.

The following statement could be the nearest thing to the meaning of that Arabic statement or help to build a nearer one:
(1) The guy has entered into a marriage contract.
(2) That is because he could not enter into a literary contract.
