Protecting Sanctity of Marriage Ruled Constitutional

Sept. 18, 2007

Maryland Court of Appeals Gets It Right

Annapolis ? Today, the Maryland Court of Appeals ruled that a Maryland statute declaring that marriage must be between a man and a woman does not violate the Constitution.

Dr. James Pelura, Chairman of the Maryland Republican Party, released the following statement:
?Today?s ruling that protecting the sanctity of marriage is constitutional is welcome news. Thirty four years ago, the Maryland General Assembly declared marriage to be between a man and a woman. While the special interests tried to persuade the courts to get involved, the Court of Appeals rightly ruled that this important policy matter belongs in the legislature, not the courts. It is now incumbent on us as citizens to make sure the will of the people prevails in that institution.?
