Does the federal government control same-sex marriage laws?

US Federal law does not recognize same sex marriage and in fact, indirectly prohibits it through the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The Act also relieves state governments from honoring a same sex marriage deemed legal in another state.

I don't think you can. You either has to be single or married to adopt. Just living together is neither. if you are in a samesex relationship and has gone through partnership might be possible though.


Can Muslim girls have boyfriends?

Anyone can do anything they want to as long as they truly want it. No, in Islam having a boyfriend/girlfriend type of relationship is not allowed whether your a male or a female and whether the bf/gf is Muslim or not. If you have anymore questions regarding the matter, just ask and I'll be happy to answer them. i gree in islam having a boyfrnd or a grlfrnd is not allowd but today no youngr generation follows it .....so if a muslim girl personlly like a non muslim boy...then it is not allowd in islam.....u cannot marry him unless he accpts islam...:)
