Yes, a law legalizing same-sex marriage in Illinois will take effect on June 1, 2014, although in Cook County only (where Chicago is located), same-sex couples can marry starting February 21, 2014, pursuant to a court order and Champaign County began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples on February 26, 2014.
In addition, beginning June 1, 2011, same-sex couples can obtain a Civil Union, which offers rights, benefits and responsibilities identical to that of marriage. A same-sex marriage legally performed in another jurisdiction is recognized as a Civil Union within the state of Illinois.

∙ 12y agoOf course you can marry!! But then your marriage cannot be legalized as your spouse/fiance is on an illegal status. Even if you try to legalize the status, it is not a surety. Based on the number of years of illegal stay in the US, that person may receive a bar for applying visa and deported back to his/her home country. If it is a lot of years, then he/she may not be able to apply for any visa for anytime in the future. So what is the point in marrying and staying apart?
