I don't know, and am honestly having trouble finding it. I did find this:
OHIO Current law:
DOMA written into state constitution and state law
Legislation: State constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage placed on the Nov. 2 ballot by citizen initiative groups and approved by voters.
here (http://www.stateline.org/live/ViewPage.action?siteNodeId=136&languageId=1&contentId=15576).
Oops - just found it. See the PDF found here: Ohio Constitution (http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/constitution.pdf)
ยง 11 MARRIAGE. Only a union between one man and one woman may be a marriage valid in or recognized by this state and its political subdivisions. This state and its political subdivisions shall not create or recognize a legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance or effect of marriage.
(no subject)
