The Evil Genius Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Something that I'm still not clear on..if two people get a SSM in a state where it's allowed, and then move to another state where it's not allowed - does this new ruling on DOMA mean that their marriage must be recognized (for tax and other purposes) in that state where SSM isn't allowed? Also..would the same thing apply to people deliberately getting married in SSM allowed states but still residing in non-SSM states? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No , that is in a different part of DOMA ....section 2 I think, just like the VRA decision it only invalidates one part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, if Bert and Ernie get married in California, and then move to Oklahoma, then Oklahoma won't consider them married. (Although a court challenge based on the "full faith and credence" clause might say something about that. But this lawsuit didn't make that claim). California can't tell Oklahoma who to marry. But, THE FEDS will consider them married. (Oklahoma cannot make California's marriage license disappear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 full faith and credence has exceptions though, I wouldn't bet the farm either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
