How was the case of Loving v. Virginia presented to the court?

Loving v. Virginia was presented to the Supreme Court as a challenge to Virginia's anti-miscegenation law, which prohibited interracial marriage. Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple, were convicted for violating this law and sentenced to a year in prison, which led them to appeal their case. The Lovings argued that the law violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights to equal protection and due process. Ultimately, the Court ruled in their favor in 1967, declaring such laws unconstitutional.
