Among the 50 discovered extrasolar planets orbiting main-sequence solar type stars only three are confirmed to be in a binary star system. However, the majority of stars seem to form in binary or even multiple stellar systems. Standard planet formation scenarios consider the creation of planets or planetary systems only for isolated solitary stars. The presence of a companion creates tidal torques on the protoplanetary disk, which may influence the formation process of planets in disks. In this contribution the consequences of the companion's perturbation on the formation scenario of planets is briefly discussed.
