The parliamentary debate that has preceded the likely passage of this legislation revealed a classic case of an institution (marriage) coming into conflict with a cause (human rights). Both opponents and supporters of the bill concede that marriage has changed in various ways over time.
可能批准这一立法之前的国会争论是制度（婚姻）与思想（人权）冲突的经典案例。该法案的反对者和支持者都承认，随着时间的推移，婚姻也出现了大量变化。他们也同意，一个核心要素并未改变。但这一核心要素是什么，他们没有形成一致。
