Loving v. Virginia

US Supreme Court decision of 1967 dealing with the constitutionality of state antimiscegenation laws. The case was brought by a Virginia couple convicted of violating a state law against interracial marriages. The Court sustained their challenge to the Virginia statute as a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. According to the 8–1 ruling, states may not prevent marriages solely because of the race of the participants.
