Plans to legalize gay marriage in England and Wales is being debated in the UK Parliament. It is currently going through its two-day report stage and third reading. Amendments to the bill are also being proposed.
MPs in the House of Commons will vote on a number of amendments to the gay marriage bill, including an amendment put forward by one Conservative MP who is opposed to gay marriage. The Tory MP wants civil partnerships to be extended to opposite-sex couples. But this amendment could delay the bill, increase costs and could force the government to drop the bill altogether.

The topic of knowledge can be widely found within Islamic teachings and practices; So much so that the first commandment and revelation from Allah (SWT) to his messenger prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was \"Read, In the Name of your Lord who has created all\".
Narrations from the Prophet (PBUH) tell us of the high statuses in which knowledge seekers are rewarded and over 700 verses within the Quran speak of \'knowledge\' and its associated words.
But in a world occupied by continuously developing technology, mankind has become both reliant on these gadgets and distracted from seeking Islamic knowledge.
At the same time Muslims in the Western world are too preoccupied with developing open societies to seek knowledge of Islam.
This week\'s Islam and Life asks: What importance does Islam place on seeking knowledge?
