BBC Ecuador's top court approves same-sex marriage 13 June 2019

「Ecuador's highest court has approved same-sex marriage in a landmark ruling in the traditionally Catholic country.」

「Five voted in favour, arguing all people were equal. Four said the issue had to be debated in parliament.」

　文化的にはカトリックの国で、9人の最高裁判事が5-4で賛成。4名は議会で検討されるべきとの意見の由。

「Ecuador's constitution defines marriage as the union between a man and a woman. The four dissenting judges argued that the National Assembly would have to debate the issue before any constitutional changes were made.」

　法の手続き上、そりゃ憲法レベルでやってくれよ、というのは尤もなことである。
