Money, not love, was the reason for one Columbia University student's recent marriage. Getting legally married to a woman with whom he shares no romantic relationship--and who is actually in a relationship with another man--helped the Leo, who was not named in the Spectator article, prove he was financially independent from his parents. That enabled him to get more financial aid, the Spectator reports.
