Article-Summary: 

Conservative MPs are on a collision course with a Constitutional Court ruling granting same-sex unions the same rights as traditional marriages. This time they are up in arms over a homosexual couple being able to adopt a “girl child”. For the second time in as many weeks MPs have objected to the Civil Union Bill, which has now been officially introduced to Parliament.
