Marriage between cousins and other close relatives to be prohibited

Published: Tuesday 26 May 2026 16.01

The Riksdag voted in favour of the Government's proposal to ban marriage between cousins and marriage where one partner is a direct descendant of the other's siblings.


The decision also means that it will no longer be possible for half-brothers and half-sisters or siblings through adoption to be granted permission to marry.  Furthermore, marriages between cousins in another country will, as a rule, not be recognised in Sweden.

The purpose of the amendments is to counteract honour-based oppression, violence and other pressure connected with entering into marriage. 


The amendments will come into force on 1 July 2026.

Committee report (In Swedish):

Kusinäktenskap och äktenskap mellan andra nära släktingar förbjuds (CU33)
