abstract
  • The U.S. state of Ohio does not recognize same-sex marriages. It enacted a statute in February 2004 that excluded same-sex couples from marriage or any legal status similar to marriage. It also denied recognition to marriages established in other jurisdictions. Voters approved an amendment to the Ohio Constitution, effective December 2004, that reiterated the statute's definitions and restrictions. Two lawsuits in federal court have challenged Ohio's denial of marriage rights to same-sex couples, asking Ohio to recognize marriages from other jurisdictions for the purpose of recording a spouse on a death certificate and for recording parents' names on a birth certificates. Judge Timothy Black, of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, ruled that Ohio must recognize same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions. He has stayed general enforcement of his ruling, but ordered the state to recognize out-of-state same-sex marriages for completing death certificates in all cases and for four birth certificates. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has appealed the rulings to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, which consolidated the two cases and held oral argument on August 6.
