It is sad but that is how it is now. The answer is to live together. When two people love each other they can get through it. She should keep her home and maybe rent it out, while they get the property and do what they must. The future does tend to take care of itself. The more you worry the sicker you can make yourself. God knows what he is doing and while he is doing you should be studying. Good Luck

Your friend's right to buy would not be affected by him marrying but by his moving on - buyers are usually required to stay in the property for a set period of time after the purchase. Your friend's eligibility for benefits are determined by a number of things i.e. if he marries and moves in with his wife he may no longer be eligible for housing benefit but a lot of things depend on the household income. The best people to contact would be the housing benefit office and the department for work and pensions

It depends very much on what type of benefits she gets: if it is disability, then there will be no penalty whatsoever. If it is social security supplement income, she will lose that according to household income(your income). If you both own homes already, the problem is that if she gets medicaid, she has to be careful that the government won't seize the property to pay her medical bills.
THE BEST THING TO DO WHEN THERE IS PROPERTY INVOLVED: SIGN THE PROPERTY OVER TO A PERSON YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY TRUST AND THEN WAIT FOR 12 MONTHS BEFORE GETTING MARRIED.

If she is on benefits they will still get them but will have to inform the benefits agency of the changes. If she is working they will class her income as joint with his. They might get income support if she has a low payed job.

If he marries and she earns enought o support him then he will lose his benefits. If he moves out of his property into hers he will have to give it up but if at some point in the future he moves back into council accommodation in the same area then those years alreaday accrued will count. You can't have your cake and eat it.

if the woman has an income then yes she will have to keep him if they marry, and how would he be able to afford to buy his own house if he has no income, would he be able to get a mortgage, if he gets married and they want to buy his house then he will have to keep it for three years before selling it, why should the state keep him if he has a working wife,
