In the USA the FASFA is used to determine how much financial aid (grants, or zero interest loans) someone can get for university
Unfortunately it looks at parents assets as well as the adult students assets.
Unless
So the loop hole here is obvious, two students should get married, then their financial need will be totally unmet and get the highest level of benefits
I'm fr curious if this can work. If it does, it seems beyond impossible to find a 25 year old college woman who would even want to marry
Two 18 year old students about to start university get married. I think it can even be same sex, marriage is marriage.
Remember Marriage isn't for life! You and your partner could get married with the understanding this is just a college marriage.
That's a whole abuse of the purpose of marriage, though
A loop hole that is technically correct is still correct.
What is the purpose of marriage?
Two people bound together for life for the purposes of creating a family
Yeah, you can miss me with the religious bullshit. This is a legal loophole in a legal system.
If it was for religious reasons, I would have specified it as a "man and a woman"
Then what is your basis for it only being between two people? You're defining it just like religion does because that's where you got the idea even if you don't realize it.
Because that's what marriage is and always has been, anything else is contrary to human nature
Marriage is human nature? Legal documents providing specific legal protections in your specific country is human nature?
Marriage is more than legal documents
Yeah, religion. Marriage has literally no basis in humanity except for religion and legal protection.
Living with someone doesn't require marriage. Procreation doesn't require marriage. Cooperation doesn't require marriage. Being with one person exclusively for life doesn't require marriage. It's literally just religion and laws, that's it.
Not in the situation being described here. The situation being described here is a method for people to legally untether themselves from their parents.
Only two? That seems needlessly restrictive. Is it for religious reasons? Church and state should be separated.
If it was for religious reasons, I would have specified it as a "man and a woman"
Also, if it's more than two, that's not a marriage; that's a group chat.
You still didn't explain why.
