Does that mean that even though the court ruled them as valid, they won’t be able to receive marriage benefits, tax breaks, etc? None of the legal issues of marriage will apply to them? Will they still have to divorce in a court when they split up, will the community laws still be applicable to them? I see where the court left a whole can of worms just waiting to be opened by the queer lobby.
I think, it follows that the gay “spouses” will be able to enjoy whatever benefits would accrue to them if they were opposite sex couples married under law. The principle here is that supposedly they acted in good faith under the law that was held as valid at the time.
I think it is wise to just let them be.
