Arizona Proposition 102 was an amendment to the constitution of the U.S. state of Arizona adopted by a ballot measure held in 2008. It added Article 30 of the Arizona Constitution, which says: "Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state." The amendment added a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage to existing statutory bans in place since 1996.
In October 2014, Article 30 of the Arizona Constitution was struck down as unconstitutional in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, and is no longer enforced by the state of Arizona, which subsequently allows and recognizes same-sex marriages.
Despite the court ruling, Article 30 remains in the state's constitution, and on the Arizona State Legislature's website there is no indication that Article 30 of the constitution was struck down or otherwise rendered inoperative.
