In Palmore v. Sidoti, 466 U.S. 429 (1984), the Supreme Court holds that a state court custody ruling that denied a mother custody of her child because she remarried a black man violates the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court notes that though the child of an interracial couple May face stigma, “the law cannot, directly or indirectly, give [private biases] effect.”
