Many people who are contemplating getting marriage decide to file bankruptcy prior to getting married so they can get a fresh start without carrying the burden of the old debt into their new life.  The debt incurred prior to the marriage will remain your debt.

If you have a small amount and your future husband will help you, maybe you should let him help you.  Filing bankruptcy will follow you and remain on your credit report for 10 years (although you can begin rebuilding your credit after you case is completed.  (See my website for a discussion on Life After Bankruptcy).  If the debt will truly be a burden in the new marriage filing now may be a great way to start a whole new life.

Each person has to make the decision on their own based on their particular situation.
