Iowa judge to stop performing marriages


At least one Iowa magistrate has decided that he will no longer perform marriages, a response due in part to the Iowa Supreme Court ruling that allows same-sex couples to marry.Third District Magistrate Francis Honrath of Larchwood on Wednesday said he will not be performing marriages."The Supreme Court ruling had something to do with it, but the truth is it's not just same-sex marriage I had problems with," said Honrath, a Creighton University law school graduate who is married and has seven children.
