Same-sex marriage has been legally recognized in Indiana since October 6,2014. The state had previously restricted marriage to different-sex couples by statute in 1986. Legislation passed in 1997 denied recognition to same-sex relationships established in other jurisdictions. A lawsuit challenging the state's refusal to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples,Baskin v. Bogan,won a favorable ruling from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana on June 25,2014. Until the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals granted an emergency stay of the district court's ruling on June 27,most Indiana counties issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The Seventh Circuit affirmed the district court's ruling in Baskin on September 4. A ruling in Bowling v. Pence stated that the state must recognize same-sex marriages performed out-of-state and the decision was stayed until the Seventh Circuit ruled on the merits in similar cases. It also stated that the ruling would remain stayed if the circuit court stayed its decision in the related cases.
