"Marriage Protection" Amendment
Proposed Constitutional Amendment:
The historical institution and legal contract solemnizing the relationship
of one man
and one woman shall be the only legally recognized marital contract in this
state.
Any policy or law or judicial interpretation, purporting to define marriage
as anything
other than the historical institution and legal contract between one man and
one woman,
is contrary to the public policy of this state and shall be void and unenforceable
in
Tennessee. If another state or foreign jurisdiction issues a license for persons
to marry
and if such marriage is prohibited in this state by the provisions of this
section,
then the marriage shall be void and unenforceable in this state.
