My Brit wife got 19 years of NI payments for having a child (you only got it for 1 kid).

So it would only be infertile non-working married women that had no state pension.

I think that is a highly dubious statement. Not having kids doesn't mean infertility. Non working married women do get a pension on the death of their husband, or so I believe. While he's alive, they will get the extra marriage allowance.

Marriage allowance went 10 years back.

So a married couple don't get any extra?

Folk are now treated as individuals, marriage allowance ended in 2010 for foreign wives, those who were getting a marriage allowance payments were stopped in 2020, they lost the payment...
