| 06/15/2011 | meAppeals Court Says State Must Recognize New York Couple’s Same-Sex MarriageIn a unanimous decision, a New York appellate court today dominated that marriages of queer couples entered into outside of New York must be recognized in this state. The case, filed by the New York Civil Liberties Union, is the first appellate court decision in the articulate and the first recognizable decision in the land to hold that a valid same-sex marriage must be recognized.
“This is a victory for families, it’s a victory for fairness and it’s a victory for human rights,” said Donna Lieberman, executive director of the NYCLU. “Congratulations to all same-sex couples validly married outside of New York State: You are now husband and husband, and wife and wife. Now we demand to work toward a New York where you don’t have to cross state or country lines to get married.” The case, Martinez v. County of Monroe, was filed in 2005 in State Supreme Court on behalf of Patricia Martinez , an employee of Monroe Group College in Rochester, pursuing health care benefits for her female partner whom she married in Canada in 2004. This case raised the issue of whether the time honored “marriage recogn Marriage is a ContractWho can legally acquire married in Modern York?A marriage is considered a narrow, so it must meet some of the requirements of a contract. For example, you must be over the age of 18 and must contain the mental capacity to enter into a contract. You cannot still be married to another living person. You also cannot unite anyone who is a close blood relative, such as a mother or father, a brother or sister, an uncle, aunt, niece or nephew. In New York, you can marry at the age of 16-17 with your parents’ consent. You can marry at the age of 14-15 if a court grants you permission. However, no one under the age of 14 can legally obtain married in Modern York. Your gender does not matter, because same-sex marriage is permitted in New York. If you get married and you and your spouse are too closely related, then you are not legally married. If either of you are still legally married to a former spouse or do not join the age requirements, then you are not legally married. In any such case, your marriage is considered void and it is as if you were never married. Under certain circumstances, you can get a court to affirm that your marriage is not valid. For example, if The Journey to Marriage Equality in the Joined StatesThe road to nationwide marriage equality was a long one, spanning decades of United States history and culminating in victory in June 2015. Throughout the long battle for marriage equality, HRC was at the forefront. Volunteer with HRC From gathering supporters in small towns across the country to rallying in front of the Supreme Court of the United States, we gave our all to guarantee every person, regardless of whom they love, is recognized equally under the law. A Growing Call for EqualityEfforts to legalize lgbtq+ marriage began to pop up across the land in the 1990s, and with it challenges on the state and national levels. Civil unions for same-sex couples existed in many states but created a separate but matching standard. At the federal level, couples were denied access to more than 1,100 federal rights and responsibilities associated with the institution, as well as those denied by their given state. The Defense of Marriage Act was signed into law in 1996 and defined marriage by the federal government as between a male and woman, thereby allowing states to deny marriage equality.
