Court Rules That Gay Marriages Can Begin in NJ on Monday
Denied Gov. Christie's delay request
Gay couples in New Jersey will be able to marry within days.
A lower-court judge had ruled that same-sex weddings must be allowed starting Monday, and the state's highest court upheld that ruling Friday. It denied a request from Gov. Chris Christie's administration to delay the weddings.
Christie had wanted the weddings delayed while the state Supreme Court decides the broader question of whether same-sex marriage should be legal. The court will hear arguments on that in January.
