In the UK, the state pension for a married couple consists of two individual pensions: the Basic State Pension and the New State Pension. As of 2023, the full new state pension is £203.85 per week per person, so a couple could potentially receive about £407.70 per week if both are eligible for the full amount. However, actual payments may vary based on each individual's National Insurance contributions and other factors. It's important for couples to check their specific circumstances for accurate figures.
Current figures list the rate as 230.85 per week for each couple. However - there are changes to the pension system in the pipeline which will affect everyone who retires from now on.
The basic married state pension, also known as the basic state pension for couples, is a government-provided pension benefit in the UK designed to support individuals who have made qualifying National Insurance contributions. It is typically paid to individuals who have reached state pension age and are married or in a civil partnership. The amount is based on the contributions made by both partners, and it may include additional benefits such as the additional state pension, depending on their work history. As of April 2023, the full basic state pension for a couple is around £290.80 per week, though the exact amount can vary.
Depends on when the other person earned the pension, how long you were married and what state you live in.

She is entitled to 50% of the portion of your Pension of the years you were married. For example, If you had a Pension fund for 7 years, prior to your marriage, then married for 11 years, she is entitled only to 50% of the portion of the Pension you acquired during the 11 years you were married, and not the 7 years of the Pension, prior to your marriage.
In the UK, the State Pension for a married man is based on his National Insurance contributions rather than his marital status. As of April 2023, the full new State Pension is £203.85 per week, provided he has at least 35 qualifying years of contributions. If he has a lower number of contributions, he may receive a reduced amount. Additionally, if his spouse is entitled to a pension based on their own contributions, they may be eligible for additional benefits or allowances.
In the United States, anyone can live in any state they choose. Legally, however, as soon as the same-sex married couples crosses the state line into a state where same-sex marriage is not legal, they cease to be a married couple. They are free to live there and represent themselves as a married couple, but the government will treat them as unrelated household members.
