Sommario/riassunto

Although the Supreme Court ruling ended a legal challenge to same-sex marriage, the debate continues and no one seems to know what lies on the horizon. This edited volume contributes to the growing literature on post-marriage-equality marriage. This book is the first interdisciplinary approach to understanding the various historical,



empirical, normative, and legal dimensions of marriage as Americans begin to imagine what marriage could be like in the future.
