Is the income of your same-sex spouse counted towards eligibility for federal tuition assistance?
Johntorresbrooklyn
No. Your same-sex spouse could be a millionaire and still none of his income will prevent you from getting federal tuition assistance, since the agencies issuing such assistance consider your husband to be a stranger to you. This makes it easier for same married gay people to obtain assistance.
The relevant law is the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act("DOMA") which prohibits federal recognition of some marriages. Eligibilty for Stafford Loans and Pell Grants is based upon individual income, spousal income and (until a certain age) parental income. If you have no legal spouse for purposes of federal law, then his income is not included when calculating eligibility, regardless of whether he lives with you.

How does your partner adopt your child with out being married?
I don't think you can. You either has to be single or married to adopt. Just living together is neither. if you are in a samesex relationship and has gone through partnership might be possible though.
Can Muslim girls have boyfriends?
Anyone can do anything they want to as long as they truly want it. No, in Islam having a boyfriend/girlfriend type of relationship is not allowed whether your a male or a female and whether the bf/gf is Muslim or not. If you have anymore questions regarding the matter, just ask and I'll be happy to answer them. i gree in islam having a boyfrnd or a grlfrnd is not allowd but today no youngr generation follows it .....so if a muslim girl personlly like a non muslim boy...then it is not allowd in islam.....u cannot marry him unless he accpts islam...:)
