Lesbian couple to challenge South Dakota same-sex marriage ban
Nancy Robrahn, 68, and Jennie Rosenkranz, 72, have been together for 27 years. They plan to marry in the state of Minnesota, before coming back to South Dakota to challenge its ban on equal marriage, and recognising same-sex marriages.
The couple’s journey to get married began on Monday at the Pennington County Courthouse, where they were refused a marriage license form. Their Minneapolis wedding, however, will go ahead, and is to be officiated by mayor Betsy Hodges.
The state banned same-sex marriage in 1996 through its Legislature, and then ten years later voters approved a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman.
