The rights given to common law partners under Ontario law and New York State law do not give the parties the title of husband and wife and thus, the petitioner cannot be deemed a surviving spouse for the purposes of asserting a right of election under New York law.

One of the issues that arose after the Iowa Supreme Court’s decision in Varnum v.

The Court of Appeals, in its landmark ruling Friday, said recognition is required by the legal doctrine of comity -- under which one state accepts the legal judgments of another -- because same-sex marriage is neither "repugnant" to the state's public policy nor expressly prohibited by state law. The court's ruling came as a Maryland state law permitting same-sex marriages is slated to go into effect Jan. 1. But that law, the Civil Marriage Protection Act, will likely be put before Maryland voters this fall, as opponents of the measure have mounted a petition drive to get the 55,736 signatu...
