Best Answer

At least 1,916 same-sex couples have married in the United Kingdom.

1,409 same-sex couples have married in England and Wales combined as of June 30, 2014. The new law permitting same-sex marriage in England and Wales went into effect on March 29, 2014. In Scotland, 507 same-sex couples have married as of January 27, 2015. There are no plans to legalize same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland, however.

Can you and your same-sex spouse file for joint bankruptcy?

Yes. According to an announcement made by United States Attorney General Eric Holder on February 8, 2014, the United States Bankruptcy Courts will give legally married same sex couples the same status as other married couples in federal legal matters. In the United States, bankruptcy falls under the jurisdiction of the federal courts. The decision applies to married same-sex couples seeking federal benefits. It extends federal privileges to same sex couples even in states that do not recognize same sex marriage as long as they were legally married in another state.
