So one of the things on the ballot in California was Proposition 3, which passed on November 5. So the law will into effect next year.
It is my understanding this is an amendment to the state constitution and removed the legal wording defining marriage as “One man and One woman” and replaces it with that everybody has a “fundamental right to marriage”.
I am reading some articles that this could be interpreted to allow polygamous full legal marriage between more two people. The new wording does not specify or restrict how many people may enter into marriage, nor does it address what the genders of those persons marrying is. This is very interesting and I will be watching closely how it plays out after it becomes law.
