"In a 9-2 decision, the tribunal cited an article of the constitution requiring states to recognize legal contracts drawn up elsewhere. It did not specify what degree of recognition must be granted to same-sex couples." The ruling does not mean that those states must begin marrying same-sex couples. The Court is also currently mulling gay adoption.
