[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course. When you marry a person, you marry their debts too. If she didn’t want to deal with his school debt, she shouldn’t have married him. They could’ve just cohabitated.[/quote]

Where do you draw the line for debt not only pre-marriage but before you even met?

You marry a deadbeat dad, you should pay off all of his back child support?

What if your husband put your engagement ring on an Amex, you’d be happy about paying off your own engagement ring?

Go to ritzy private colleges, rack up a mortgage worth of debt, then coerce a new spouse—who made more responsible college decisions—to pay off the loans feels wrong. I’m sorry.  [/quote]

These are not apples to apples comparisons.  Most likely the medical school debt will pay off in the future as higher earnings for the husband that will benefit them both.  Back child support (or consumer debt for jewelry) isn't the same kind of debt.[/quote]

It benefits her ONLY if they stay married. If they get divorced, she will have paid off the debt and she doesn't benefit from his income after divorce. Even if he cheats on her.[/quote]
