In Pavan v Smith, 582 U. S. ____ (2017), the U.S. Supreme Court reversed an Arkansas State Supreme Court decision that prevented same-sex married couples from having both spouses’ names listed on their children’s birth certificates. The Court’s per curium opinion cited its prior decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U. S. ___ (2015), which held that Constitution entitles same-sex couples to civil marriage “on the same terms and conditions as opposite-sex couples.”
