瑞典立法者对在国外庆祝童婚的消极和限制性态度已经逐步加剧，最近的一次修正案是针对2015年下半年来自十八岁以下的人可以缔结有效婚姻的国家的寻求庇护者急剧增加。在2019年1月1日或之后缔结的此类婚姻几乎无一例外地将在瑞典被拒绝承认，无论在结婚时配偶双方是否与瑞典有任何联系，也无论此后已经过了多长时间。虽然瑞典政界人士和公众普遍欢迎这一改革，但他们似乎忽视了这种普遍不承认可能对有关人员，特别是年轻的妻子造成的严重消极的实际和法律的后果。文章批判性地审查了新规则，并讨论了将拒绝接受童婚与保护配偶合法利益相协调的可能性。
The negative and restrictive attitude of the Swedish legislator towards child marriages celebrated abroad has been step-by step sharpened, most recently by an amendment reacting to the dramatic increase of asylum seekers in the second half of 2015 from countries where persons under the age of eighteen can enter into valid marriages. Such marriages, concluded on or after 1 January 2019, will with almost no exceptions be denied recognition in Sweden, regardless of whether at the time of the wedding the spouses had any connection with Sweden and irrespective of how much time has lapsed thereafter. While the Swedish politicians and public generally welcome this reform, they seem to disregard the serious negative practical and legal consequences such general non-recognition may have for the persons concerned, in particular the young wives. The article examines critically the new rules and discusses the possibilities to reconcile the refusal to accept child marriages with the protection of legitimate interests of the spouses.
