Is e-marriage the way to go?

By , About.com GuideDecember 14, 2009

Follow me on:

Getting married twice has become a reality for some same-sex couples. They hold one public ceremony to celebrate their union and another in a state or province that legally allows their union.

Two Michigan State University law professors suggest that e-marriage is the solution. With e-marriage, Professors Adam Candeub and Mae Kuykendall, can apply for a marriage license online and then hold one ceremony for family and friends at home. Currently, only four states allow same-sex marriage (New Hampshire's law takes affect January 1). However, some states that don't allow gay marriage grant rights to couples legally married elsewhere. An online marriage license would expedite that process.

"What we're arguing for is that states should formalize in their laws what they've always been doing in smaller degrees in specific areas, which is, allow people outside their states to use their laws," Candeub told NPR.

More after the jump.
