Why is it ?

That's an issue with student loans, not really MR.

Student loans were made non-dischargeable because so many people were getting high paying jobs and declaring bankruptcy. They had the income stream to not have a problem with being unable to get a loan, and just rebuilt their credit score later.

Marriage treats assets and debts as joint property, by combining the two individuals as one unit for legal purposes. This means debts as well, but it doesn't change the property of student loan debt being non-dischargeable. The student loan has not been transferred to the husband, so much as he has joined her in the eyes of the lending agency (via the legalized institution of marriage).

Now, if you want to look at what happens should this couple then get a divorce, you might have an MR issue. Then again, since if you switched the genders around, I don't believe any of the outcomes would have changed, you still might not have an MR issue. Instead, you still go back to the system of student loans being a mess.

If either a male or a female incurs student loan debt THEN gets married it is NOT community property in the states that follow CP rules unless he spouse later signs to be responsible to the debt (like with consolidation of the loans).

As far as not being dischargable in bankruptcy that is due to changes in the bankruptcy code over the last almost 30 years.
