Same-sex marriage is legal in Indiana because the Supreme Court ruling in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015 declared that same-sex couples have the constitutional right to marry nationwide. This landmark decision invalidated state laws prohibiting same-sex marriage, including Indiana's previous ban.
