By legislation passed in 1997, it denied recognition to same-sex relationships established in other jurisdictions.

Until the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit granted an emergency stay of the district court's ruling on June 27, most Indiana counties issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's ruling in Baskin on September 4. A ruling in Bowling v. Pence stated that the state must recognize same-sex marriages performed out-of-state and the decision was stayed until the Circuit ruled on the merits in similar cases. It also stated that the ruling would remain stayed if the circuit court stayed its decision in the related cases. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to consider an appeal in Baskin v. Bogan on October 6, which allows the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals to implement its decision requiring Indiana to license and recognize same-sex marriages.
