10th Circuit Court rules Utah must recognize same-sex marriages performed in the state

SALT LAKE CITY — A federal appeals court has ruled that Utah must recognize more than 1,200 same-sex marriages performed in the state after Amendment 3 was overturned.

In an order issued late Friday, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied a request from the Utah Attorney General’s Office to halt recognition of the marriages. However, the court said it would institute a temporary stay until July 21, giving the state time to go to Justice Sonia Sotomayor at the U.S. Supreme Court.

whose legal rights are currently in limbo.

4. Yes On separate but related issue

This is relating to those who were legally married while there was no injunction

Based on prior rulings even if the Utah marriage ban was ultimately upheld these marriages likely would remain valid
