80 same-sex couples get Illinois marriage licenses | |
February 25, 2014 The Cook County clerk says so far his office has issued 80 marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Clerk David Orr's office issued 46 licenses on Friday and 34 through 3 p.m. on Monday. A federal judge Friday ruled same-sex couples could immediately begin marrying and don't have to wait until June 1. That's when same-sex marriage takes effect in Illinois. The ruling only applies to Cook County. Source: http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20140225/news/140228990/ |
