Lithuania gives state recognition to a same sex couple, for the first time

https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/marriage/same-sex-couple-gets-state-recognition-in-historic-lithuanian-court-ruling/ar-AA1KDRue?ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover&cvid=695e5f04a38445e7c387813505ce1e4c&ei=12

The couple is female.

From the article:

"But that ruling isn’t self-implementing. The Lithuanian parliament, called the Seimas, needs to pass legislation to create a form of civil partnership recognition for same-sex couples. Meanwhile, lower courts can recognize same-sex couples for some benefits under the law.
