DescriptionThe highest court in Massachusetts on Tuesday ruled that gay couples there cannot be denied the right to marry by the state.

The Supreme Judicial Court ruled that same-sex couples are legally entitled to wed under the state constitution, but stopped short of immediately allowing marriage licenses to be issued to the couples who challenged the law.

The court is giving the Legislature 180 days to "take such action as it may deem appropriate in light of this decision."
