re: #373 Buck

Try and follow this. They got married in Canada, BUT NEVER LIVED IN CANADA. Their marriage is recognized IN CANADA, but not in FLORIDA. What law should Harper pass to make the marriage recognized in FLORIDA?

I’m just reading from the article:

The document reportedly cited a Department of Justice lawyer who said the couple’s marriage is not considered legal in Canada because they would not have been lawfully wed in Florida or England, their respective homes.

The question is whether the marriage is legal in Canada, and the article suggests that the ruling includes a statement that it is not. I fully agree that the Canadian government has no say in whether the marriage is legal anywhere else.
