The lawsuit by the Center for Inquiry focuses on the role of religion in Indiana's marriage rules and does not mention the issue of same-sex marriage.
Indiana’s marriage statute is the subject of a recent challenge by a secular organization, the Center for Inquiry. The ACLU-backed lawsuit challenges aspects of the Indiana law that do not allow the organization’s secular ceremony officiants to conduct official marriages.
After President Obama’s recent speech on marriage equality, same-sex marriage has also been in the limelight. This week on Noon Edition, we’ll discuss perspectives on the law that regulates marriage in Indiana.
