I'll never get married. It's so stupid that a man/woman has to prove
s/he's single to buy property or a house.

???What are you talking about? That makes no sense. My husband and I
did not have to prove we were married to buy our house. When we
divorced and I bought my own, I didn't have to "prove I was single".

It varies by state. In community property states, some lenders and buyers
insist that all who have a financial interest in the transaction
affirmatively consent to the deal.
