COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 16 (UPI) -- A judge granted Ohio's request Wednesday to stay his order on same-sex marriages contracted in other states except for the eight plaintiffs in the case.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Black, who ruled Monday that Ohio must recognize marriages contracted elsewhere, said the Supreme Court is likely to make the decision in the case. While he predicted his ruling will stand, he said a reversal without a stay “is likely to lead to confusion, potential inequity, and high costs."
