Judge rules marriage ban unconstitutional

U.S. District Judge Richard Young ruled Indiana’s ban on gay marriage unconstitutional.Three cases argued Indiana Code Section 31-11-1-1, which defines marriage as between one man and one women, is “facially unconstitutional,” according to a court document.Plaintiffs in all cases argued Section 31-11-1-1 violates 14th-Amendment rights such as due process and equal protection.No stay has been issued on the ruling, meaning couples can marry within the state immediately.
