By: Jessica Hamilton

Narrated by: Susan L. Crawford

Whether it is a sign of progress or not, same-sex marriage is still a much-debated issue. It is one of the most revolutionary changes that has occurred in the United States and for sure will occur in other countries in the world. In the aftermath of decades of debates, of rulings made and then declared invalid years later, and of countless demonstrations and defiance, the ruling is out.

With the support of five Justices, the United States Supreme Court has finally declared the constitutional right of every two individuals, of opposite or same sex, to marry. This guide shows you the implications of the Supreme Court ruling in relation to your rights and benefits as prescribed by the law governing marriages. Take note that the same way you are given access to the privileges of a legally married couple, you also take on the legal responsibilities and the full ramifications of a married person.
