Which court case is associated with same-sex domestic violence protections?

• A. Obergefell v. Hodges
• B. Roe v. Wade
• C. Brown v. Board of Education
• D. Miranda v. Arizona

Answer: (A)

Recognizing same-sex relationships under the law and the protections that come with marriage. Obergefell v. Hodges is the landmark ruling that required states to license and recognize same-sex marriages nationwide. When marriage is recognized, couples—regardless of gender—gain the same protections that marriage affords, including domestic violence safeguards, spousal rights, and access to family-law remedies. The other cases focus on abortion rights, school desegregation, and police interrogation rights, not on extending marriage-related protections to same-sex couples. So this case best aligns with extending protections to same-sex couples, including those related to domestic violence within marriage.
