Gay Marriage California, Same-Sex Marriage

Pursuant to the California Supreme Court's ruling, as of June 17, 2008, same sex couples will enjoy the same right to marry that was previously limited to male-female couples. Thus, all couples of any gender who otherwise satisfy the requirements to qualify for marriage may acquire a California marriage license and can be married in the state of California.

The revised marriage license now identifies the separate individuals who will be married as "Party A" and "Party B" in place of the previous "Groom" and "Bride" identification. At this time gay weddings are considered legal in California.

Parties who have entered into a State Register Domestic Partnership must provide proof of termination, if the termination occurred within the last two years or less. If the termination was more than two years, written proof may not be required, but the date of the termination must be provided at the same time the license is requested.

Parties marrying the same partner, who each entered into a State Register Domestic Partnership must present a copy of the Declaration of Domestic Partnership.
