TURNER V. SAFLEY
482 U.S. 78 (1987)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over inmate marriages.
FACTS: A Missouri regulation held that an inmate may only marry with the permission of
the superintendent of the prison and that such approval should only be given when there are
compelling reasons to do so. Prison officials indicated that a compelling reason would be
when a child is to be born to prevent that child from being labeled as illegitimate.
Petitioners urge that the regulation such as this should be tested under a reasonableness
standard and not the fundamental right standard that marriage has been tested under in
Zablocki and Redhail.
