That's why couples married in the US are recognized in other countries as husband and wife. In the US, the full faith and credit provision in the Constitution causes (straight) marriages performed in any state to be recognized by all the others, giving marriage the force of law.Interestingly, although gay marriage is legal in MA and CT, the only outside state that legally recognizes these is NY, IIRC. It seems that the Constitution's full faith and credit doesn't apply to the laws of MA and CT where gay marriage is concerned... |
