Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph9780300113402 0300113404 Includes bibliographical references and index.How we got here -- Marriage, choice of law, and public policy -- Miscegenation in the conflict of laws -- The stakes -- Against blanket nonrecognition -- Choice of law rules : the options -- When to (and when not to) recognize same-sex marriages -- The irrelevance of full faith and credit and the Defense of Marriage Act -- The difference the mini-DOMAS make -- Toward benign competition.Must a state in which gay marriage is not legal recognize such a marriage performed in another state? The Constitution does not require recognition in all cases, but it does forbid states from nullifying family relationships based in other states, or from making themselves havens for people who are trying to escape obligations to their spouses and children. In this book, Andrew Koppelman offers workable legal solutions to the problems that arise when gay couples cross state borders. Drawing on historical precedents in which states held radically different moral views about marriage (for example, between kin, very young individuals, and interracial couples), Koppelman shows which state laws should govern in specific situations as gay couples travel or move from place to place.Americans are profoundly divided over same-sex marriage, and now that gay civil unions and marriages are legal in some states, the issue has become increasingly urgent. Koppelman offers a sensible approach that will appeal to the best instincts of both sides.Same-sex marriageLaw and legislationUnited StatesStatesInterstate agreementsUnited StatesSame-sex marriageLaw and legislationStates.Interstate agreements346.7301/68Koppelman Andrew1605076MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910967170803321Same sex, different states4353920UNINA
