Israeli Court Recognizes Gay Partner Rights

http://www.365gay.com/newscon04/11/111404israel.htm

An Israeli court Sunday ruled that same-sex couples have the same rights as married couples in inheritance rights.

The ruling, by the Nazareth District Court, overturns a Family Court ruling that an elderly man from Kiryat Shmona was not entitled to spousal rights.

The man, who was not named, had sought the estate of his late partner, with whom he lived for several decades, the newspaper Haaretz reports.
