Defense of Marriage Act  

Definición

  • The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is the informal name of U.S. Public Law 104-199. Similar to other federal policies such as welfare reform and the Marriage Promotion Act, DOMA privileges and encourages some relationships and families while stigmatizing and constraining others, in this case based on sexual orientation.
