U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith ruled that the state must recognize the marriages, stating in his opinion that, "the same-sex couples who married in Michigan during the brief period when such marriages were authorized acquired a status that state officials may not ignore absent some compelling interest—a constitutional hurdle that the defense does not even attempt to surmount."
Judge Goldsmith elected to allow the ruling to be stayed for 21 days.
