Leila's family decides whom she may meet, checks her phone and threatens her so that the family's reputation will not be harmed. How does Swedish law see this?

In the exam (Swedish)

Leilas familj bestämmer vem hon får träffa, kontrollerar hennes telefon och hotar henne för att familjens rykte inte ska skadas. Hur ser svensk lag på det?

  1. aIt is a private family matter that society does not interfere inDet är en privat familjefråga som samhället inte lägger sig i
  2. bIt is allowed as long as Leila lives at homeDet är tillåtet så länge Leila bor hemma
  3. cIt is allowed if the whole family agreesDet är tillåtet om hela familjen är överens
  4. dIt is honour-related oppression and can be a crimeDet är hedersrelaterat förtryck och kan vara ett brottCorrect answer

Why?

Controlling and threatening someone to protect the family's honour is honour-related oppression (hedersrelaterat förtryck). Since 2022 there has been a separate crime called honour oppression (hedersförtryck), and an honour motive also makes other crimes more serious.

Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in Swedish, as shown above.
