Regarding "Whom you fall in love with should have no bearing":
So does this mean a father should be able to marry his daughter to assure the above
financial benefits of marriage to them as a couple, so that the daughter can,
for example, draw
spousal Social Security benefits from his (i.e. if the spouse has not
earned her own benefit, she gets her own SS check amounting to half of the spouse's)?
