Unused Marriage Licenses For Same Sex Couples No Longer Valid


Bobbie Bicknell Coray, Reporter.  Rich Civic Times 

RANDOLPH, Utah.  January 8, 2014.  Becky Peart, Rich County Clerk, was instructed  that they had been advised that marriage licenses that have been issued to the same sex couples have not yet been married  those licenses are not valid anymore.   The State of Utah will not recognize the validity of same sex marriages until the case has been resolved in court. The U.S. Federal Government, however, will recognize the marriages already performed in Utah for federal benefits.   Peart said there have been no requests for marriage certificates from same sex couples in Rich County yet.
