Effective June 26, 2015, same-sex marriage is legal in all US states and territories. The only country in the world where same-sex marriage is legal in some states, but not in others, is Mexico. In Mexico, however, even states that do not permit same-sex couples to marry must recognizes same-sex marriages performed in other states.

  • Both same sex partners were married and should believe in their own hearts they are still married under the law of the State they got married in. It does not matter if they are not considered legally married in another State because they have taken their vows and are married. It's a state of mind so they should run with what they know and what is in their hearts and they have nothing to prove. Life just goes on.

No. During the time in which they are physically present in the state where same-sex marriage is not legal, they are not legally married. In fact, they may even marry someone else of the opposite gender, although this may cause legal problems later on.
