In a new preface, Mark Strasser discusses recent developments in the legal battle over same-sex marriages in Hawaii. He anticipates the likely state and nationwide impact of the Hawaii Supreme Court's decision. Mark Strasser examines the issue of same-sex marriage in light of contemporary constitutional and domestic relations law, showing why the usual arguments against recognizing such unions are either weak or irrelevant. The Supreme Court has articulated numerous interests promoted by marriage, all of which apply to same-sex as well as opposite-sex couples. According to Strasser, the argument made most frequently to deny recognition to same-sex unions—that marriage exists to provide a setting for the production and raising of children—is in fact a reason to acknowledge such unions. The claim that marriage is for children biologically related to both parents is refuted in the case law, which treats biological and adopted children as legally indistinguishable. Strasser explains Baehr v. Lewin, the precedent setting case in Hawaii, and addresses the implications of state-by-state decisions to ban or recognize same-sex unions. He analyzes what it would mean to say that a policy violates the Equal Protection or Due Process Clauses of the Constitution, and compares biased polices that target gays and lesbians with those that victimize racial minorities. Strasser argues that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is both unconstitutional and a public policy disaster. It does not give states additional rights with respect to which marriages they need not recognize, Strasser explains, but only with respect which divorces they need not recognize. For example, DOMA seems to allow an individual to avoid a court-imposed duty to support an ex-spouse of the same sex simply by changing his or her domicile. Moreover, Strasser argues, DOMA is an open invitation for states to demand exceptions that will wreak havoc in domestic relations law. In a recent response to conservative arguments about marriage, Legally Wed explicates established and involving legal principles, and shows how invidiously these have been applied to the issues of gay rights in general and same-sex unions in particular.

With marriage laws in a state of flux, it is difficult to give unqualified answers to many of the serious and important questions people ask about law and marriage. To a great extent, each state is sovereign in the laws affecting marriage. Courts are playing an active role in defining and changing the legal consequences of marriage and other relationships. The important issues and considerations that cut across the laws and court decisions of all states are the focus of this booklet. The information is presented in question/answer format. The six chapters and some of the topics they cover are as follows: (1) "Defining Marriage Legally"--getting married, common-law marriage, name changes, premarital contracts, invalid marriages, living together outside of marriage; (2) "The Financial Side"--property, debts, equal credit legislation, estate planning; (3) "Children"--abortion, reproduction and childbirth, paternity and support, adoption, abuse and neglect laws; (4) "Your Conduct Toward Each Other"--sexual relations, domestic violence; (5) "Breaking Apart"--separation, annulment, divorce, spousal support, custody, visitation, and (6) "When a Spouse Dies" --wills, if there is no will, and children and inheritance. The booklet concludes with a section on where to obtain for more help. (JB)

A comprehensive guide to marriage—perks, consequences, and everything in between—aimed at the LGBTQ+ community, from a leading gay rights lawyer. Not long ago, same-sex couples had to jump through endless hoops to make their relationships even close to legal. Happily, those days are over. But here’s the rub: many gay and lesbian couples, accustomed to living off-grid, are so thrilled to have the benefits of marriage that they jump into it without fully considering the consequences. In Before I Do, leading gay rights attorney Elizabeth F. Schwartz spells out the range of practical considerations any couple should address before tying the knot. She explains the rights married couples have—and those they do not. With cameos from some of the most prominent LGBTQ+ professionals, Schwartz explores all of the implications of marriage from name changes and getting a license to taxes, insurance, Social Security, and much more. Chapters on estate planning, pre- and post-nuptial agreements, and organizing finances make Before I Do a crucial handbook for anyone considering marriage—because, as Schwartz explains, just because you can get married does not mean you should. “During my thirty years of covering the gay beat for the Miami Herald, never did I imagine the need for a marriage guide for LGBT couples. Yet today nothing is more urgent. Before I Do guides all couples, gay and otherwise, about the responsibilities of marriage. Ignore it at your peril.” —Steve Rothaus, The Miami Herald

You're committed, you're moving in together and you're blending your households. But are you forgetting something? Many Canadians find themselves in common-law relationships and think that they aren't any different from a legal marriage. It can be a shock to find out that, when the going gets tough, certain rights under the law—not to mention financial obligations—do or do not apply. A cohabitation agreement allows a couple to make sure their partner and any children are taken care of in times of need or crisis; that ownership in properties or financial resources are clear, combined, separated or protected. Do We Need a Cohabitation Agreement? is written in clear, nontechnical language and includes real-life examples based on Canadian cases, addressing topics including wills and estates, powers of attorney, the special concerns of step-families and same-sex couples, and how to have this discussion with your partner.

The essays in Marriage Proposals envision a variety of scenarios in which adults would continue to join themselves together seeking permanent companionship and sustenance, linking sexual intimacy to a long commitment, usually caring for each other, and building new families. What would disappear are the legal consequences associated with marriage. No joint income tax return; no immigration privileges like the “fiancée visa” or the right to bring in a husband or wife; no special statuses for prison visits or hospital decisions; no prerogative to remain silent in court by claiming “confidential marital communications”; no pension entitlements; no marital benefits and detriments regarding criminal or civil liability. The anthology makes a unique contribution amid the two marriage furors of the day: same-sex marriage and the Bush Administration's “marriage movement” (that marrying is good and more marriages would be better for society). Abolishing the legal category of marriage is the only policy suggestion in current American discourse that speaks to both causes. Activists on both sides of the same-sex marriage fight, along with marriage movement partisans, all seek improvement through law reform. Marriage Proposals gives them a viable reform—abolition of marriage as a legal status—for fighting battles in the courtroom and the streets. Contributors include Anita Bernstein, Peggy Cooper Davis, Martha Albertson Fineman, Linda C. McClain, Marshall Miller, Lawrence Rosen, Mary Lyndon Shanley, and Dorian Solot.

“By the power vested in me by God and the State of ‘XYZ’, I now pronounce you husband and wife”. If you’ve ever wondered when and how God gave a minister the power to declare two people as married-- this book is for you. If you’ve ever searched the Bible for a description of a wedding or an exchanging of marriage vows and have come up empty handed-- this book is for you. If you’ve ever wondered if two people can marry without a marriage license-- this book is definitely for you. Marriage has existed since the beginning of time, while the marriage license is a relatively new creation in American culture. A marriage license is never mentioned in the Bible and most early American settlers never heard of such a document. For as long as men and women have been on earth, marriages have taken place. How is it, then, that so many people have come to believe that government involvement is the only way for two people to become married? Using biblical scripture, as well as legal and historical evidence, this book will show you why so many are purposely choosing marriage without a license. It presents a strong argument in favor of government-free marriage while proving that such is a completely legal and moral alternative to civil marriage. Most important, however, this book will clearly illustrate the fact that marriage, as it is depicted in the Bible, is a completely separate entity from civil marriage. While social and political debate about who has the right to marry rages on, it is more important than ever to understand the distinctions between biblical and civil marriage traditions. This book goes a long way in highlighting why it is necessary to separate church and state in such matters. It further illustrates why so many who view civil marriage through a religious lens are wrong in doing so. Sure to spark controversy in the hearts of many, Marriage Without a License will take you on an historical, social and religious journey that will turn what you thought you knew about marriage upside down. Whether you agree or disagree with its contents, one thing is for sure: after reading this book, you will never view civil matrimony in the same light again.
