“Unclear about the contribution in polygamy”
“Polygamy is allowed in some cases in Sweden, where marriages entered into in a country where it is legal. But in Sweden is no social custom for marriage with more than two parties.”
“Emma Rönström, attorney General of the social security system (AO) , has appealed the two cases on the right to housing to a higher court, because she believes it is needed in guiding judgments and decisions.”
“today, instead, there is no guidance and then there is the risk to the Insurance officer makes different from case to case,” she says to Dagens Nyheter.”
“In the two cases, polygamous families are treated different when it comes to the right to housing, depending on whether the Tax authority has approved the månggiftet or not. AO believes that when it comes to housing assistance, it should only be possible to be married or cohabiting with a single person, no matter what the Tax records say.”
“the Tax demanded for a year then a review of the law’s application, but nothing has happened. According to the Sta’s survey a year ago, there were over 300 people who live in marriages with more than two parties.”
