Lesbian Couple in Indiana Denied Divorce

Trapped in a bad marriage?  Sorry, really. But you've got nothing on Larissa Chism and Tara Ranzy, a divorce-seeking Indiana couple doomed to live unhappily ever after and after and after by a legal Catch-22. Chism, a psychiatrist, and Ranzy, an educator, wed in Toronto in January 2005. In March of this year, they filed a divorce petition. In many respects, their case was rubber-stamp simple. They had no children; they had already divided their property; neither was pregnant. Unfortunately, an eagle-eyed court employee noticed the one complicating fact in their one-page joint submission: Larissa and Tara are both women's names. Indiana does not grant or recognize same-sex marriages. Full Story from The Star: http://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/699523
