A lower court in New Jersey had ruled a few weeks ago that same-sex marriage must be allowed beginning Monday. Gov. Christie's administration had appealed the decision to the state Supreme Court.
Christie also asked the higher court to halt the beginning until the appeal has been heard. Today, a judge from the higher court ruled against that delay. Marriages can begin now in New Jersey, making it the 15th state, plus the District of Columbia where gay people can marry.
The challenged laws are on appeal in two of them, New Mexico and New Jersey. It seems likely that both will ultimately be overturned.
