Children Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)

“The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was a federal law passed by the 104th United States Congress intended to define and protect the institution of marriage. This law specifically defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman which allowed individual states to not recognize same-sex marriages that were performed and recognized under other states’ laws. Nonetheless, this law’s sections were ruled unconstitutional by the United States Supreme in cases such as United States v. Windsor (2013) and Obergefell v. Hodges (2015)”
