Sweden to prohibit cousin marriages from July
The Swedish Parliament approved a law banning marriages between first cousins and close relatives. The legislation also prohibits marriages involving relatives conducted abroad, aiming to combat violence and repression associated with "honor." The law will come into effect on July 1, 2026, and will also prohibit marriages between half-siblings. Additionally, marriages conducted outside Sweden that violate local laws—such as marriages under duress or polygamous marriages—will not be recognized.
