Recognition of same-sex unions in Latvia
Latvia has recognised same-sex civil unions since 1 July 2024. On 9 November 2023, the Saeima passed legislation establishing civil unions conferring similar rights and obligations as marriage with the exception of adoption and inheritance rights. The bill was signed into law by President Edgars Rinkēvičs in January 2024, and took effect on 1 July 2024. This followed a ruling from the Constitutional Court of Latvia on 12 November 2020 that the Latvian Constitution entitles same-sex couples to receive the same benefits and protections afforded by Latvian law to married opposite-sex couples.

Latvia does not recognise same-sex marriages, which have been prohibited in the Constitution since 2006.

The court also opened the possibility for same-sex couples to register civil partnerships through the courts, even in the absence of specific legislation.

Lithuania does not recognise same-sex marriages, which are explicitly prohibited by the Lithuanian Constitution.
