SORRY... That is just not an answer or excuse... If 2 people enter a country and the allowance is 10.000 max it has to be each... otherwise they are saying cos your married your only half a person..... Thats just stupid.....what if the wife has her own bank account own lifestyle own criteria.... Each individual has the right to carry 10000 not split it.....Just cos your married dont mean you are only entitled to half of anything .......... silly rule........
