Gay couples clear first stage in legal challenge against Northern Ireland's same-sex marriage ban

The two couples who have taken the legal challenge were among the first to have civil ceremonies in Northern Ireland.

Both cemented their relationships in civil partnerships a decade ago at Belfast City Hall.
