Between September 2012 and May 2013, France is divided by the introduction of a new law that offers the possibility of a legal marriage to a wider stratum of society than heterosexual couples. Known as 'Mariage pour tous' the new law is seen as a long overdue piece of legislation for some, a recognition of traditional French values; but others regard it as a threat to the sacred institution of marriage as it was originally conceived.
