This isn’t a “brexit rule” and it’s disgusting for The Guardian to frame it that way as using someone’s suffering to make a point about Brexit.
I know this could be a “if we were still in the EU this wouldn’t happen” thing, or dismissed as another “brexit and it’s consequences” article, but this shouldn’t happen at all- EU citizen or non EU citizen. The fact the guy is an EU citizen is entirely irrelevant.
Having a salary requirement on a spouse visa is extremely extremely idiotic, stupid, disgusting and an abuse of human rights, specifically article 8. Apparently even Japan is less strict for foreign spouses- and that country is notoriously difficult to migrate to.
I do not know how more people aren’t talking about this. It’s essentially a punishment for daring to fall in love with someone who isn’t British/Irish
“Love is love” until you dare fall in love with someone of the wrong nationality, it seems.

No stay at home parents or trophy spouses then.
I’m sure that applies to rich people too. /s
What? So marrying a foreigner is a “trophy spouse”? Isn’t saying such a thing literally racism?
I’m saying a rich person would probably be able to get around this
Looks like there’s a rich person loophole if you have at least £88K in savings.
Tory pandering to the rabid anti-eu minority leaves us in this situation.
OR rich.
Which makes it worse.
“We’re racist, but if you’re rich, we’ll overlook it”
It’s completely vile.
