I've never seen the purpose in this either. The government shouldn't be involved in these matters.

ahem.... TAX BREAKS ANYONE?

M Dogg™:
The purpose USE to be that marriage gave women legal rights to their husband's property and other things after their husband passed away. In my wife's case, her parent's immigrated here, but because the US did not recognize their marriage, once my wife's father passed, it was his BROTHER that got everything. My mother-in-law was too depressed to fight it. Before, this would happen all the time so marriage became a legal matter in which to do this. Now marriage is a tax benefit.

First off, no one should ever base a marital decision on whether or not they will receive tax breaks.  I mean, imagine tax breaks influencing a couples decision to get married.  Then later their careers change and those tax breaks no longer help them, or they want to get a divorce but they are stuck cause they wanted the tax breaks.  Moreover, I did better than I ever did filing separately this year; so different rules apply according to your case, and it's very confusing and unfair across the board.

Is this why Nas pays $50 G's to that gold-digger Kelis every month?
