Indiana Judge: ‘No valid reason’ to not recognise terminally ill lesbian’s marriage
Judge Richard Young was referring to his decision on April 10 to allow Amy Sandler and Niki Quasney to marry, as Quansey is terminally ill.
He said that attorneys defending Indianas gay marriage ban havent shown any good reason to not recognize the marriage.
Despite the order only applying to the one couple, he also stated they were likely to succeed in their bid to have Indianas gay marriage ban declared unconstitutional.
Young also noted the huge amount of precedent in the case, due to preceding ruling in other states.
Since the US Supreme Court struck down the Defence of Marriage Act last year, 18 federal and state court decisions have addressed equality based on sexual orientation, and all of them ruled in favor of same-sex couples.
