Asker, there is always an exception to everything depending on the situtation. Now if u needed money for a loved ones operation and the only way to get the money was to marry some guy then that would be morally right on ur part.
The dictionary says this about the word moral as a adjective for moral attributes:
"Of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical: moral attitudes. "
So for instances if u both marry understanding its for money then yes it's moral. But if it isn't under the principle of right conduct, like u said that u did love him; it's wrong!!

The sad truth is that alot of people get married for reasons other than love and money is one of them. Some people just don't want to be alone, I have known several women that wanted children and were over 30 so they just married the next guy that came along. I have known women who married for financial security, most of them had chrn from a previous relationship they were trying to support, but not all. I have also known men who "settled" w someone they liked and who they figured was good enough because they gave up on finding"the one".
The problem is the other spouse rarely knows these are the reasons they are being chosen. I think its ethical if you both know why you are choosing to do this. I knew a couple who both wanted kids but had never found the right one. They were very good friends and BOTH decided to get married and have chrn w each other - funny part is they are happier than most people I know who married for love.
I think if only one of you knows the deal eventually it will come out/effect the marriage. The divorce rate is high anyhow and marrying someone you don't love in the 1st place certainly points you in that direction.

How wonderful it would be that our perfect mate includes riches beyond our wildest dreams. However, to marry for money as a main reason is to put yourself in an eternal slave position. If money is an issue, attract your own money first. We all have the power to do so but few of us believe it. Think about it! There are people in the world today who are broke. In the next year or two, they will be millionaires. Why not you? The human mind is the most creative force known in the universe. Make your fortune, then you can worry if the person who is to marry you is doing it for money, or because they truly love you. Rita

It is wrong to marry for money. Is money the most important thing in your life? There is only one reason to get married and that is love. The reason there are so many miserable marriages and divorces is because people get married for all the wrong reasons. If you marry someone who you do not love you could be giving up your chance to ever find true love and happiness. You should also consider the feelings of the person who's money you are after. Do their feelings mean nothing to you? Does that person not deserve to be loved?

are you happy with that money?! so, theres nothing wrong!
this is true (but i know some will disagree):
1. you cant be fully happy if its only LOVE. you soon be sick and tired of doing the same things in your life without getting what you want and giving the needs of your children to be.
2. you just cant say its morally wrong to get married for money because youre being practical and smart.
3. know why some couple always had a fight? well, its because they dont have enough money to fill their needs and they were blaming each other of what and why and how of it all.

No, I don't think it is wrong. I married for love was married twenty years. But I think marriage is about finding someone who meets your needs and if your needs are high maintenence then a rich spouse meets that criteria. As long as you don't hate the guy and focus on the fact that you are making a pact your contract is that you are going to marry and have a relationship for money, that is your end of the bargain. Your need is being met. His need if he is marrying you for love must also be met. That is a partnership, that is the deal.

Hey, do whatever you want. If you are willing to marry someone for the money, it's your life.
Do I think you will necessarily be happy just because of the money, I don't know, as I do not know you. You might be, you might not.
Everyone has to make their own morals, so don't always listen to everyone else. You decide for yourself.
But, if he asks for a pre-nup, then he is on to you, or at least has a good suspicion.

I dont think it is right, because i had this friend once who was dating this girl and she had parents who lived off interest. now this guy was in the military and he married into her family, and sure enough he would brag that he didnt have to pay for houses, and she bought him a beamer for his birthday AFTER she found out he cheated on her. Aint that some BS. .........my point is though, if you married in for the money at least satisfy the person you are with and dont be so obvious that you are in it for the money. dont brag bout being wealthy. you have to make that person think you are in the marraige for them and not the money...and then you are set!!
or you can just marry him, divorce and get 50% of everything! lol

the very fact that ur asking this question means ur doubting ur decision. Marrying for money is wrong, point blank. There is nothing better than finding love coz then, even a person obsessed with money will settle for tiny apartment and a crappy car. However, u live the life u want, if u value money more than happiness then go ahead.
