But that line completely undermines the whole point of marriage. I have
been in the position in the past where I have been living with a partner
who I had absolutely no intention of ever marrying, because I did not
want to commit myself to that person on a long-term basis. I chose NOT
to marry, and would not have wanted to be treated as though I were
married just because it might simplify tax forms.

Couldn't agree more that the benefits system - indeed all systems -
should
treat all partners to a relationship as equal.
The case I mentioned previously was an illustration of the fact that the
system did, in fact, do that by establishing the true make-up of the
income
of the amily unit concerned. The problem came about because of the way
the
form was worded - which Tim has subsequently pointed out is a general
problem for us all to watch out for.
