It’s US here, but even more specifically, an ‘adult disabled since childhood’ can not get married to anyone but another ‘adult disabled since childhood’ or all the benefits are removed. Entirely.
Which sucks cause guess what classification my husband with cerebral palsy has?? Oh well, eternal fiance for me I guess. Fiancee? One of them.
Fiancé
marriage is made up anyways, there’s no legitimate reason you couldn’t just hold a ceremony with friends and family and wear rings, i’ve never heard of it being illegal to claim you’re married despite not having paperwork.
hell the only reason a lot of people marry is for economic benefits, so if anything you two have a much more legitimate claim to marriage.
