An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in preliminary provisions relating to marriage, further providing for definitions; and, in miscellaneous provisions relating to marriage, repealing provisions relating to marriage between persons of the same sex.

Summary

The bill rewrites the legal definition of marriage to state it is a contract between one man and one woman, and it removes Section 1704, which previously declared same‑sex marriages void. This changes how marriage is recognized under state law and could affect any couple seeking marriage recognition. The measure reflects a push to align the statute with a traditional view of marriage.
