Being an invalid has nothing to do with your marital status. It means you are either unable to earn your own living or have some type of physical disability.

Invalid has nothing to do with anyone's maritial status, it has to do with your physical and mental ability to take care of yourself. Some people live their entire lives and never are invalid. Other, due to old age, disease, accidents, abuse or drug overdoses become invalid. Being an invalid can be a temporary condition if it is short term disability, or permanent.
I used to think the guideline for being an invalid was when you could no longer get to the bathroom or even a potty chair by yourself and had to use a diaper. When my mother had advanced liver cancer and refused to leave her home or have anyone come in to help take care of her, I was working with a caseworker to see about getting her into hospice care and found out that even if a person is totally physically disabled, as long as they know they need to clean themselves up, even if they are not able to, they are not considered legally invalid.

In what sense? Unable to hold a job? Unable to drive? unable to make "it" go up and stand at attention? Unable to have babies? Unable to see? Be more specific.
