Whether a same-sex couple may marry or not is controlled by legislation, either on the state or federal level. This legislation, in turn, is subject to review by the judiciary particularly with regard to its constitutionality.

The enactment of legislation is controlled by the elected legislature, but nonetheless influenced by local culture, the predominant religion of the population, and local civil rights movements. To some extent, the legalization of same-sex marriage in one jurisdiction seems to have the effect of improving chances it will be legalized in adjacent jurisdictions, or distant places, particularly those that share the same language.

Call the disabled American Veterans. They will pay to have hand controls put in your truck. even tho you might not be a veteran, US Govt will pay for it. You need to show that the marriage was void, or voidable, meaning that one of the participants wasn't able to enter the marriage, that the marriage was a sham, or that it was never consummated.
