Probably, this would be decided by the California Attorney General. And as he has already declined to appeal the decision overturning Prop 8, his sentiments are clear. That could be appealed to a court, but as a court has already held that the marriages that took place up until Prop 8 was passed remain legal, it appears that the Courts are also unwilling to undo marriages once done.
