Genital mutilation of girls and women is banned in Sweden. What applies if the procedure is carried out in another country where it is not banned?
In the exam (Swedish)
Könsstympning av flickor och kvinnor är förbjudet i Sverige. Vad gäller om ingreppet görs i ett annat land där det inte är förbjudet?
- aIt can still be punished in SwedenDet kan ändå straffas i SverigeCorrect answer
- bIt is allowed because it happened abroadDet är tillåtet eftersom det skedde utomlands
- cOnly the person who carried out the procedure can be punished, never the parentsBara den som gjorde ingreppet kan straffas, aldrig föräldrarna
- dIt is allowed if the parents have said yesDet är tillåtet om föräldrarna har sagt ja
Why?
Sweden banned genital mutilation (könsstympning) as early as 1982. The crime can be tried in a Swedish court even if the procedure was carried out in a country where it is allowed, and consent does not make it legal.
Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in Swedish, as shown above.
