As with so much in law, the answer is "maybe." People are free to marry for any reason they see as important -- love, family arrangement, sense of obligation, desire for economic security, etc.; they simply are not allowed to commit fraud in doing so. If you are not sure where that line sits, I suggest a consultation with a qualified family law specialist. Meantime, you may get some useful information from the analogous situation regarding divorce for economic gain. See the article "Sham Divorces Civil Rights and Family Law Experts (23 Nev. Fam. L. Rep., Spring, 2010)" posted at http://willicklawgroup.com/published-works/.
