The Defense of Marriage Act: The Crossroad of Love and Legislation

By Alliance Alert

ADVERTISEMENTS
Journal of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers: "When it passed DOMA, Congress effectively restricted existing constitutional rights. DOMA poses a serious threat to fundamental personal privacy rights. By creating a sex-based classification, DOMA impedes on a person's right to choose a spouse. Additionally, a couple married in one state will not enjoy the freedom to travel as a married couple and hold themselves out as such in sister states. Decisions regarding whom to marry and where to live fall within the penumbra of privacy rights. By creating a sex-based discrimination, DOMA impedes on a person's right to choose a spouse."
