In most cases this is diagnosed by age five. In that case the child would need a wheelchair by about age 12. Most likely the child will start to have heart and lung issues by late teens or early twenties. My guess no longer than thirty.

Can any patient of muscular dystrophy get married?

Of course people with muscular dystrophy can get married. My partner of 9 years and I would love one day to get married. We have a deep emotional connection to each other as well as a deep physical connection, despite his disability. He has the ability to laugh, love, live and learn just like me, or anyone else who is able bodied. My partner has been a wheelchair user for about 17/18 years now, and was diagnosed with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy when he was 8. He is a beautiful, precious treasure to me, and his disability is just something we live with.
