Two underage girls disappeared from their first home in Halland in October. They had been secretly placed there because they risked being subjected to honour oppression and marriage.
The girls' mother, who had already left Sweden before the abduction, said last winter that they were in Turkey. Even then, Älmhult municipality could have requested help from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Turkish authorities – but this was never done. If an abduction was unlawful based on the legislation of the country in which the child lived, the child should, according to the main rule, be returned.
