You want context. I had a very good friend who got married solely to garner better accomodation, benefits and allowances of a married contract on a very lucrative, long-term construction gig in Singapore. They eventually returned to Thailand where they had a daughter, but he treated both her and her mother poorly. He ultimately divorced his wife, quite acrimoniously, and she was sent on her way on a pittance, struck out of his Will with no chance of ever entering his grand retirement pool villa. Several years later, before he passed away, still an angry and bitter man, he bequeathed his home, his pride and joy, to his daughter. Within a month, his ex-wife, who probably hated him as much as he hated her, was living in his home. Poor bugger is probably still spinning like a top in his grave. Marriage shouldn't be the lynchpin of one's legal immigration status unless it's your homeland.
