Forgot the part where they only get married for the tax benefits
Or for the health insurance!
Or where they don't get married, or even move in together, because one/both would have income support and disability benefits reduced/removed.
Wait is there other reasons to get married than gov treating non-married couples unequally?
Are you counting the healthcare system as part of gov?
Religious reasons. Whether it be a set religion or a personal interpretation on human spirituality linked with sexuality, etc
And for people that aren't religious?
Probably isn't much point apart from government benefits, lol.
Yeh. I will say I've heard there's like over a thousand benefits the government affords married people ranging from taxes to visiting in the hospital, etc. So back to the original point that if the government didn't incentivize it then what would be the point?
Religion. Other than that, there's none 🤣
Idk, the romantic in me likes the idea commitment like that and celebrating having found someone with friends and family 🥲
For the health insurance is where I'm at
So parent's income isn't reported on your FAFSA
