Study on Impact of a Constitutional ban on Same-Sex Marriage in Indiana

Indiana law currently bans same-sex marriage, but in 2011, opponents of same-sex marriage and civil unions passed a proposal to write that ban into the Indiana Constitution.

25 Indiana Law Students investigated the legal consequences that would follow if Indiana wrote a ban on same-sex marriage and civil unions into the state constitution.  Their investigation found that 614 laws would be affected, including probate laws and family laws.
