Historically, the ability for Black individuals to marry varied significantly based on location and time period. In many places, particularly in the United States, laws prohibited interracial marriages and restricted Black individuals from marrying freely until the mid-20th century. The landmark Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia in 1967 invalidated laws against interracial marriage, marking a significant turning point. However, in many areas, social and legal barriers persisted even after this ruling.
