Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) specifically allowed states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages granted under the laws of other states, and its Section 3 barred same-sex married couples from being recognized as "spouses" for purposes of federal laws, effectively excluding them from federal marriage benefits. However, DOMA did not address or deny the right to civil unions directly; it was more focused on the definition and federal recognition of marriage. Civil unions could still provide some legal protections at the state level, independent of DOMA's definitions and restrictions.
