Best Answer

Yes. There is no citizenship requirement for obtaining a marriage license in Massachusetts, regardless of the gender(s) of the applicants. Lack of a legal Immigration status is not a bar to marriage, nor does it invalidate an otherwise legally performed marriage. Please note that, for the time being, same-sex marriage is not recognized for purposes of immigration, except that it can be considered in deportation cases. A same-sex spouse cannot sponsor a foreigner for a green card.
