Summary: 


Canadian income tax pays no attention to one's marital status,
except that if one spouse is dependent on the other, the richer
can claim a deduction from taxable income.  The amount of deduction
depends on the spouse's income.  That seems fair to me.  There are
anomalies between common-law and certified marriage, but I don't
know what they are.
