No same-sex couples have legally married in Franklin county because same-sex marriage is prohibited in Mississippi by both statute and amendment to the state constitution. In 2014, a lawsuit was filed challenging Mississippi's ban on same-sex marriage, but the case has not been decided yet.

No same-sex couples have yet legally married in this county, although same-sex marriages are legally recognized under Missouri state law effective October 6, 2014.

As of November 5, 2014, the only jurisdiction in Missouri that permits same-sex couples to legally marry is the city of St. Louis, MO, which is an independent city not part of any county.



No same-sex couples have legally married in Jackson County, Missouri. There is, however a domestic partnership registry maintained by Jackson County, which provides very limited rights to registered couples, whether same-sex or opposite-sex. A lawsuit was filed in state court against Jackson County on June 24, 2014 by two same-sx couples who were refused marriage licenses there. Jackson County is refusing to defend the ban in court.
