The challenge is one of four lawsuits around the country that ask federal courts to strike down the 1996 federal Defense of Marriage Act. The suits, and the Massachusetts case in particular, according to advocates and scholars, are just the opening shots in a struggle destined for the U.S. Supreme Court.
