  "long_title": "This Order makes amendments to primary legislation as a consequence of the coming into force of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 (c. 30) (“the Act”). Some provisions of the Act are already in force and two orders making consequential amendments (as well as other provision) have already been made, being the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 (Consequential and Contrary Provisions and Scotland) Order 2014 (S.I. 2014/560) and the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 (Consequential Provisions) Order 2014 (S.I. 2014/107). Various other statutory instruments have also been made. The provisions of the Act being brought into force on 10th December 2014 mainly concern the conversion of civil partnerships into marriages (“conversions”) and allow, subject to certain conditions, a couple to remain married if one or both of them changes their legal gender.",
