Same-sex marriage in Rhode Island
Same-sex marriage has been legally recognized in Rhode Island since August 1, 2013. The state had authorized a limited form of domestic partnerships from 2002 to 2011, and the formation of civil unions from 2011 until the state began recognizing same-sex marriages in 2013.
== History ==
Beginning in 2002, Rhode Island allowed for unregistered domestic partnerships that provided a small number of legal benefits to same-sex couples. For example, the surviving spouse of such a partnership, if a police officer, fire fighter, or correctional officer, could receive a death benefit. Domestic partners could adjust their state taxes to reflect the costs of health insurance premiums.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hrc.org/laws-and-legislation/entry/rhode-island-marriage-relationship-recognition-law )〕 Domestic partners could control the funeral arrangements of a deceased partner. This status became inactive with the state's adoption of civil unions.〔
In February 2007, Attorney General Patrick C. Lynch issued an opinion advising that same-sex marriages performed in Massachusetts be recognized in Rhode Island. He said that "his interpretation permitted recognition of the marriages, although he acknowledged that it was just an opinion and did not have the force of law." The Human Rights Campaign noted that "This is not a binding opinion and the attorney general noted that this question will most likely be answered by the courts."〔Human Rights Campaign: ("Rhode Island Marriage/Relationship Recognition Law" ), accessed July 3, 2011.〕〔; GLAD: ("Marriage Guide for Rhode Island Same-Sex Couples", p. 8 ): "legal uncertainty remains in this area", accessed July 3, 2011〕
