It is my understanding that if is is legal in the state you are married, it will also be legal when you return to your home state. I know people that married in one state because they couldn't in the state they lived in.
Answer2That depends on many things, first if your talking about gay marriage then in Kansas, Montana, Utah, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Alaska and South Dakota it will not be recognized. But all the other states it will be recognized. if your talking about opposite sex marriage then it is permitted anywhere no-matter what state your in. And lastly there are things called Common-Law-Marriage's and that's if you live in Kansas, Texas, South Dakota, Utah, or Oklahoma then they'll recognize some of the rights of marriage but not all, like Insurance, Banks, etc. but on the other hand if you say get a same-sex-marriage in say Massachusetts and you get your Loans, Bank accounts, Insurance, etc through Massachusetts then you can live in Kansas but your bills and loan would be in Massachusetts and you can joint-pay them as your state taxes would go by the individual person.

∙ 14y agoNo. You must as a pastor state that you performed the marriage in the state of the license. So technically and honestly you cannot get a marriage certificate in one state and then go get married in another state. Your license from any state is recognized by all states once you are married.

Can you just go to New Hampshire and get married in a gay relationship or do you need something else other than a marriage license when moving from another state?
Gay people may marry in any state that recognizes same sex marriage and that does not have a residency requirement for marriage, and no other documentation is needed. However, your home state may not recognize your marriage (but the Federal government will).It should be noted that in the United States many people are under the impression that proof of your marriage is your marriage "license". That is incorrect. A marriage license is signed and returned to the issuing civil authority by the officiant who performs the ceremony. That is how the marriage becomes registered. Proof of marriage is a marriage certificate or certificate of marriage that can be obtained from the town or county clerk where the marriage license was issued and returned.See related question link.
If you live in a state that does not recognize same-sex marriage can you be married to a man and a woman?
This question contains a fault in logic. If you are a man and you live in a state where same-sex marriage is not legal then you cannot be married to another man. Even if you marry a man in another state, as soon as you return, you and he are no longer married. I think what you are trying get at is ... if you are a man and marry another man in (for example) New York, then you move to (for example) Texas, are you free to marry a woman? The answer to that question is yes. An out-of-state same-sex marriage is not a bar to marriage in states where same-sex marriage is not legal.

Not legally. You can have a ceremony on a cruise ship, but you must have another on land to legalize it. All 50 US states require that a marriage occur within the state that issued the marriage license. British law does not permit marriage at sea, either. Japanese law does, but only for Japanese citizens and Japan does not permit lesbian marriages. The Bahamas permits marriage at sea, but does not permit lesbians to marry.
