Marriage Laws In Indiana

Indiana's marriage statute is the subject of a  recent challenge by a secular organization, the  Center for Inquiry. The ACLU-backed lawsuit challenges aspects of the Indiana law that do not allow the organization's secular ceremony officiants to conduct official marriages.

After President Obama's recent speech on marriage equality, same-sex marriage has also been in the limelight. This week on Noon Edition, we'll discuss perspectives on the law that regulates marriage in Indiana.

Join us Friday at 12 p.m. You can visit this site to be part of our live chat, follow us on Twitter  @NoonEdition, or join us on the air by calling in at  812-855-0811 or 1-877-285-WFIU.
