Answer
The Respect for Marriage Act repealed the Defense of Marriage Act, a 1996 federal law that defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman and denied federal recognition to same-sex marriages. The Respect for Marriage Act ensures that same-sex and interracial marriages are recognized by the federal government and protects these marriages from future attempts to undermine their legality.
