PROVIDENCE, R.I. - A lesbian couple that married in Massachusetts cannot get divorced in their home state of Rhode Island, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday.

The court, in a 3-2 decision, said the state's family court lacks the authority to grant the divorce of a same-sex couple because Rhode Island lawmakers have not defined marriage as anything other than a union between a man and a woman.


ok, they can't get divorced because they're not married...why not just walk away? problem solved:woohoo:

or is there more to it? (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071208/ap_on_re_us/gay_divorce;_ylt=AtC6Cm1WLN_9TeZes4zmWg9H2ocA)

Seems that in the confrontations of gay marriage, nobody ever considered "gay divorce" to be a problem. Couldn't they go back to Massachusetts and divorce there?

They will seek a writ of mandamus under Art 4, Sect 1 of COTUS:

“Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.”

Classic SCOTUS case.
