2 AnswersR&B & Soul7 years agoIs a right to marry in the constitution at all...?
There is no right to marriage -- gay marriage, same sex marriage, heterosexual marriage -- guaranteed in the Constitution. In fact, marriage is not mentioned in the Constitution at all, which means the federal government has no role in marriage as a construct.
Per the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

One state may embrace marriage between two people of the same sex; another state may recognize only heterosexual marriage between one man and one woman; a third state could even choose to legalize polygamy if it wishes.
Currently most states have not legalized gay marriage. Those that have include Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont, plus Washington, D.C.
