Has the state constitution of Arkansas been amended to prohibit same-sex marriage in that state?
Johntorresbrooklyn
Yes, in November 2004, but that amendment was struck down by the United States Supreme Court on June 26, 2015. The amendment used to say:
- Marriage. Marriage consists only of the union of one man and one woman.
- Marital status. Legal status for unmarried persons which is identical or substantially similar to marital status shall not be valid or recognized in Arkansas, except that the legislature may recognize a common law marriage from another state between a man and a woman.
- Capacity, rights, obligations, privileges, and immunities. The legislature has the power to determine the capacity of persons to marry, subject to this amendment, and the legal rights, obligations, privileges, and immunities of marriage.
