Claim pension on husbands contributions

If I were to marry could I claim a pension based on my new husbands contributions, and if so when? I am 64 and currently have a pension made up to the M.I.G. My possible:p future husband is only 55. He is going to retire at 60. I say possible as it is looking as though we will not be able to afford to live together! He is in a good job but has to pay the mortgage for his ex. plus his pension contributions etc. and there is very little left over.
I would appreciate any advice please.

Yes, I think you can do this, but only when he reaches age 65 (the retirement age for men at present).
Is there any reason why you can't claim against your own NI contributions?

Sorry, just read your post again and I notice that you're already claiming in your own right but with Minimum Income Guarantee (now Pension Credit).
If you get married before he's 65 (or even if you cohabit) then the MIG (PC) will probably stop because it's a mean-tested benefit, and only the part of your State Retirement Pension that you earned yourself will remain.
