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.

Legally it is a shortcut to establishment of a number of implied contracts, tells the courts how to unwind those contracts, and rights. In some cases the implied contracts are more effective than written ones. Medical decisions and visitation rights being first ones I can think of.

I sm not a lawyer.
