Illinois, Louisiana, Massachuettes, Vermont and Wisconsin. The law basically applies to same sex unions and does not apply in any context to underage persons. The majority of US states use federal statutes when it concerns the avoidance of restrictive laws from one state to another. (GN 00305.165. (FYI, I checked with "my mother the lawyer" to be certain of the application). Her opinion is federal law can be applied in any situation where a court order has been obtained to restrain, rescind or annull any marriage, divorce, custodial ruling, etc. when it involves dual jurisdictional matters).
yes it is legal. all you need to do is get the marriage license in the state in which you are getting married. In most states it is legal. However... "The Uniform Marriage Evasion Act, which has two main provisions, has been adopted by the following States: Illinois Louisiana Massachusetts Vermont Wisconsin The first provision: If a resident prohibited from marrying under the law of the State goes to another State for the purpose of avoiding this prohibition and contracts a marriage which would be void within his/her home State, that marriage will be held to be void by the home State, just as if the marriage had been entered into there. (Several States which have not adopted the Uniform Marriage Evasion Act as a whole have adopted this first provision.) The second provision: Prohibits the marriage within the State of persons residing and intending to continue residing in another State, if the marriage would be void if contracted in the individual's home State." Yes! I am a resident of FL, my husband of CA, and we got married in NE!
No. Nebraska uses state statutory law to regulate marriages and other civil acts. A legal marriage in Nebraska will be legal in all other US states. The same does not necessarily apply in situations where a couple would be married in another state. For example a couple marrying in a state that allows same sex unions or marriage of minors due to a pregnancy who did not have parental consent, would probably not be legal in Nebraska.
yes
Louisiana
There was no provision for a uniform currency.

Check Title 14 of the Vermont statutes for the full probate code of Vermont.

The ACU uniform adopted in 2005 is. The current Multi Cam uniforms being issued to units deploying to Afghanistan are not.
New York has not adopted the Uniform Probate Code; however it is possible that it has adopted some portions of it separately as opposed to adopting it in full. Even states like New Jersey, which have adopted the UPC, have made changes to various provisions. No state has to adopt the UPC in its entire format. The UPC is intended to be a guide.
Yes. However, the legislature can and has abrogated some features of common law. For instance, common law marriage is not recognized in Kentucky, and the commonwealth has adopted certain laws to be uniform with other states, such as the Uniform Commercial Code

The UK has not adopted the UCC as it is a specifically American Law System and neither has it ratified the CISG, a universal standard set up by the UN. The UK has its own laws relating to sales and commerce.
