Just recently, the U.S. Supreme Court said that Utah, for now, doesn’t need to distinguish gay marriage conducted during a shortened period when they were permitted in the state.
Utah’s highest court, allowing an emergency request made by the state’s governor, disclosed a short order in halting the effects of lower court ruling that indicated Utah to distinguish gay marriages immediately.
Over a thousand marriages happened within in the 17-day period after a federal judge deemed the state’s ban of same sex marriage unconstitutional. The SC stepped in on January 6, 2014 and order a temporary postponement on gay marriages within the state while the state is intensifying its appeal.
Utah is currently in the process of getting a petition ready for the Supreme Court, which asks the justices to make a decision as to whether or not the state can continue to forbid same sex marriage. However, questions regarding present gay unions in Utah brings up somewhat similar legal matters.
