Certain aspects of the securities laws require disclosure as to a spouse.  For example, Section 16 reporting includes the spouse of the person responsible to report.  Last Friday the SEC issued Release No. 33-9856 interpreting how the terms "spouse" and "marriage" will be interpreted.  Essentially, a same-sex couple will be treated as married if lawfully married under state law irrespective of whether their state of domicile recognizes same sex marriage.
