who wish to many in Massachusetts under new state guidelines that appear more lenient than originally proposed Gov Mitt Romney who opposes gay marriage had originally said clerks would have to seek documents proving gay couples lived in Massachusetts before granting them marriage licenses cm May 17 when same-sex marriage becomes legal His top legal adviser told clerks Tuesday however that a sworn oath about where they live and about the truth of the information they provide on their marriage license will suffice as proof of residence Attorney Daniel Winslow warned city and town derka however that issuing marriage licenses to out-of-state gay couples will make the marriages null and void and could result in legal repercussions for the clerks The consequences of an illegal marriage could be severe for the couple particularly if they have children because of legal questions of support and custody Winslow said There also would be legal consequences for the derka though Winslow declined to say what those could be conscientious derk ever would issue a license in violation of Massachusetts law when the consequences and ramifications to children and innocent parties would be so
