There is no federal law talking about marriage, it's a states issue.  Laws about marriage appear in State Constitutions, not in the federal one.  In fact, since there is no federal laws about it, I'm wondering why gay marriage is a natgional issue?  Let the states decide; after all, they're the ones who hand out the licenses ("Power invested in me by the state of ____".)\n\nFun fact: In addition to marriage, the U.S. Constitution does not recognize a persons right to an education.

It was so incredibly sad to hear the results of most of the gay marriage bans this election. I can't believe that as a country we seem to be so damn unaccepting of difference. As a ray of hope, though, I worked to defeat the gay marriage ban in Arizona, Prop 107. We managed to defeat it, so I think there's still hope for a better future. We just have to keep working on it. We'll show all those bigots that hate has no place in the world.

I think we'd need to find out what state you're looking for.  There is no universal marriage registry.

No, currently the California Supreme Court (which sits in San Francisco) says no gay marriages until all the lawsuits from gay activists and opposing religious groups are decided. \n\nIn the meantime, the same court has ruled Domestic Partnerships that grant the rights and responsibilities of marriage to gays are definitely legal. So the fight at this point isn't substantive, its over the actual use of the word "marriage" only.\n\nAs for the lawsuits, there has been conflicting rulings...in Orange County and Sacramento County, the ban on same-sex marriage was uphelded. However, judges in San Francisco County and Santa Cruz County reached the opposite conclusion (holding that the ban is unconstitutional). No matter who wins these little trial court battles, however, it'll eventually be appealed all the way back up to the California Supreme Court.

No state has allowed  gay marriges because this country believes that marrige is between man and women and I stand by that as well I know there is a country Argentina they allow gay marriges over there

For sure Maryland ,Massachusetts, New Jersey & Vermount...  i heard that California but i am not sure about that... But in Maryland u do not have to be state resadance to get married there. my 1/2 sisters aunt went to maryland a couple years ago and married her partner\nI remember them saying that it is not recanised as marrige here in pa but they were considerd life partners or a civil union they would not be able to collect from the goverment from one another or file income tax together but just the same they did not care.... it was kinda cool one wore a white! wedding dress and the other a tux and got married right in a gay church. It was something to see i can tell you that much. Her partner ended up dying just 16 months after they were married and she was gay since she was a early teen she had a son from a one night stand with a guy just to see what it was like.. anyway... all she ever wanted was to get married to the right woman  and her dream came true..and her son has a parent in his life he would not of had one because his father was no where to be found. the son lives with the aunt and thinks of her as his mother and is not afraid to tell anyone that his mom is dead but his other mom is raising him now. Now rather i agree with the life style is another story..

Anyone who loves one another should be able to marry.\n\nIt is sham marriages without love that should be illegal. And divorce, too. Same sex marriages are less likely to end in divorce than straight marriages. Why don't all the people who claim to be standing up for "family values" try to make divorce illegal? I think that they are all thinly veiled gay bashers because if they really cared about family values they would try to reduce the divorce rate.

Actually 'marriage between gays and lesbians' is legal everywhere in the world, as the gender definition fits...\n\nGay marriage, or lesbian marriage, is legal only in a few countries (the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Canada, South Africa, and the U.S. state of Massachusetts).\n\nI'm looking for information about family law in the UAE but I haven't been able to find it yet.\n\nAnyway, to answer your question: sooner or later, they will probably realise that they will have no choice but to secularise their laws. A few well-publicised trials might raise enough noise among the foreign community (which is the vast majority of the resident population of the UAE, as I understand), and they'll probably wind up not repealing but decriminalising a lot of family crime.

Any right not in the Constitution or any of the Amendments to the Constitution is not guaranteed.  The matter of whether same-sex marriage is a right under the Constitution is a matter that is currently open for discussion with advocates on both sides.  Eventually, a court will decide the matter but for the moment, banning same-sex marriage is not unconstitutional.

It is illegal in the United States of America to marry more than one person attached or unnattached! Be carefull cause you three or 2 and 1/2 will go to jail! Good luck though!

The constitution does NOT define marriage, or even address it. You can look at the constitutions of individual states such as Alaska, Alabama, New Jersey, Vermont, etc. As for "societal" norms, I suggest you go to the periodicals section of your library and look at wedding announcements, etc. Look closely at the constitution of the state of Alabama and you can see where amendments were added to refuse interracial marriage (and they are not repealed even today!). Georgia is the same, but theirs is repealed.

Massachusetts is the only state to offer marriage. Its going great here too, Several thousand marriages have taken place and...Its been a boon to the economy. Massachusetts has always been a leader in civil rights and is the smartest state acording to a federally conducted test. New Mexico is the last on the test.

VERMONT, MASSACHUSETTS. It is only legal if you live there. if you move to kansas they will not recognize your marriage. \nSo if you like cold weather, you and your gal can move to vermont or mass. You also will be allowed to add her as a spouse to your medical policy, life insurance policy, and all that...\nOne of my older friends just married her girl. They have a house together and all that good stuff.\nI wish you well!

Gay marriage is legal in Massachusetts, but not in other states (although Vermont has civil unions). If a couple married in Massachusetts moved to another state, the marriage would not be recognized at all. For those married in Massachusetts, they are only recognized as married in Massachusetts and not at the federal level of government (and do not receive the same federal tax benefits or legal protections as opposite-sex married couples).
