Three couples
recently moved to New York City so their spouses could attend graduate
school. Each told the school that they were married in order to qualify

same-sex marriages were performed); Tyler and Phyllis moved from Texas
(a common law state), where they lived together as husband and wife but

together in Alabama (a common law state); however, never told anyone they
were married. Which couple(s) have a valid marriage in New York (not a
common law state)?
