And outside Taipei's parliament, the celebrations continued.
Efforts to legalise gay marriage in Taiwan quickly gained momentum after President Tsai Ing-wen, who openly supported marriage equality, came to power last May.
Pro-gay marriage rallies took place in the many weeks leading up to the court ruling, with similar gatherings by those who were against same-sex unions.
The landmark case was brought forward by equal rights activist Chi Chia-wei, after the government rejected his and his long-time partner's application to get married in 2013.
He had told news agency AFP that he was "100% confident" that the ruling would go in his favour.
"Taiwan has become a sophisticated society. Our marriage system and regulations should also evolve with time," he said.
No other region in Asia has yet to legalise same-sex marriage.
