PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - The Rhode Island House Judiciary Committee is going to hear several bills related to same-sex unions, marriage, and divorce on Wednesday.
One proposal would allow same-sex marriage in Rhode Island, recognize previously performed civil unions as marriages, and recognize unions and marriages performed in other jurisdictions as marriages.
A second measure would allow divorce in Rhode Island for couples legally married elsewhere.
