A utilitarian would weigh the consequences of the writer's marriage and the woman's non-marriage. By marrying this woman, the writer would benefit her, her children, and most likely our society, because she works hard and would pay taxes on her income. The negative impact of his marriage would be to be detected. By not marrying him, she would probably marry someone else who she would have to pay for, and that doesn't guarantee her legal status, because if the authorities find out about it, she will be in a lot of trouble. She could also be deported, which would not only be bad for her and her children, but also for society, as eviction proceedings cost taxpayers a lot of money. With all this information at hand, a utilitarian would understand that marrying a woman would produce the greatest good for everyone. They care about the impact of our actions on others and believe in maximizing pleasure by minimizing pain. Utilitarians are also motivated by emotions rather than reason, unlike Kantians. The writer feels sympathy for the woman and understands her needs, a utilitarian would like to end her pain by doing what he considers to be the right thing, which is marriage. This marriage would resolve her situation and end her suffering, thus creating something good from something that is considered bad. This shows how utilitarians believe in the bottom line and let emotions be part of their morality.
