N.H., nine other states urge Calif. court to delay marriage ruling
Summary from United States, from articles in English
|
SAN FRANCISCO - Concerned about the national ramifications of same-sex marriages in California, attorneys general from 10 states have asked the California Supreme Court to stay its decision legalizing the marriages, which are set to begin on June 17. (article 1)
The attorneys general said that allowing same-sex marriages now could unnecessarily open the door to legal challenges from gay residents of other states who get married in California. (article 1)
Following a memo sent to state agencies by the counsel to Gov. David Paterson, New York state will recognize gay marriages performed in other states and countries where the unions are legal, the governor's spokeswoman said Wednesday. (article 13)
Emboldened by Thursday's historic California Supreme Court ruling overturning the state's ban on same-sex marriage, the San Francisco mayor said he might swing by for a visit someday soon. (article 18)
However, unlike Massachusetts - the only other state to legalize same-sex marriages - California allows residents of other states to wed here even if the marriage would not be permitted in their home state. (article 3)
In a friend-of-the-court brief filed late Thursday, they said they have an interest in the case because they would have to determine if their states would recognize the marriages of gay residents who wed in California. (article 2)
