The Defense of Marriage Act stated marriage was between man and woman.
The Defense of Marriage Act was enacted on September 21, 1996. It was President Bill Clinton who signed it into law. This law that ruled from 1996 o 2013, prohibited the marriage of people from the same sex, which meant they were not granted the privileges such as partner's employment benefits, tax exemptions, and protection against domestic violence. The Defense of Marriage Act prohibited the states to authorize same-sex marriage.
