The full faith and credit clause in the US Constitution requires states to recognize legal proceedings and judgments from other states, including marriages. Therefore, Missouri must recognize the couple's marriage from Texas even if they were not married under Missouri law. The comity clause suggests that states should give respect to each other's laws and legal proceedings, but it is not as strong of a requirement as the full faith and credit clause. Necessary and proper, privileges and immunities, and supremacy clauses are not relevant to this scenario.
