The Defense of Marriage Act forces states to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman and allowed states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. It was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2013 in United States v. Windsor. Therefore, states are no longer forced to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, but many choose to do so voluntarily.
