In October of that year, the 9<sup>th<\/sup> Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that laws denying same-sex marriage were unconstitutional because they prevented same-sex couples from receiving equal protection of the law. Following this, U.S. District Court Judge John Sedwick ruled that Arizona\u2019s amendment to ban same-sex marriage was unconstitutional. When Arizona\u2019s Attorney General Horne announced quickly thereafter that he would not appeal that ruling, same-sex marriage immediately became legal throughout the state.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, same-sex marriage became legal <strong><em>across the country<\/em><\/strong> as a result of a Supreme Court ruling legalizing such marriages in all fifty states.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/azcapitoltimes.com\/news\/2014\/10\/27\/marriage-licenses-issued-in-every-arizona-county-for-same-sex-couples\/\">Arizona Capitol Times<\/a>, in the week following the legalization of same-sex marriage in Arizona, all fifteen counties in the state issued marriage licenses to at least one same-sex couple.<\/p>\n<p>All couples looking to get married, whether same-sex or opposite-sex, can obtain a marriage license in Arizona if they are 18 years old or older, provide sufficient identification, and pay the license fee. Requirements and fees vary slightly by county, with some courthouses recommending scheduling an appointment time.
