New Jersey is one of only five US states without either a law or a state constitutional amendment blocking same-sex marriage.

Advocates on both sides had believed it was more likely than other states to allow gay people to wed, as it has a tradition of expanding civil rights.

The state authorised domestic partnerships two years ago.

Currently, only Massachusetts allows same-sex marriages.

The court's decision was welcomed as a partial victory by both advocates and critics of gay marriage.

"It may not be a complete win, but it is a very substantial win," said Matt Coles of the American Civil Liberties Union.

The government should get its hands out of marriage completely. It's none of their business.
