Confused Question on Soc Sec for Child on Fathers benefits

We filed, were denied at first, waited almost 20 months for a hearing.
A fully favorable decision was received. However, as retired older parents I was reading a booklet on benefits and from what I read if our disabled child marry's, she is 20, she will lose her benefits.

She has been disabled from childhood, is receiving based on her fathers earnings. I am concerned now...does this means she has to be alone for her life, we are in our 60's and worried that all this was for nothing if she marrys and the man can not or will not take care of her.

Any other parents out there? This is not SSI, it is off her fathers earnings.
