Women, who have wanted to remain anonymous, were married in the town of Budva on July 25th, according to local media.
A Budva official, Milijana Vukotiq Yellussic, has said both women are from the Balkans, but work and live outside this territory.
The issues of sexual preferences and gender identity continue to be problematic in Montenegro and the region, where the Orthodox Church and conservative society have considerable influence.
Montenegro's law on “vital partnership among persons of the same gender” has been adopted last year.
The government has had until 15 July to make the changes needed to enable such legal unions.
The former ruling party, the Democratic Party of Socialists, has led efforts to adopt this law despite objections from some coalition allies.
This party is no longer in power.
The bloc of parties currently in power, the Democratic Front, has rejected the law.
