The individual and family committee in Västerås began an investigation into the girl on August 18, after a report of concern was received from the curator at the 17-year-old's school.
- As far as I know, this is the third time that an application for a temporary travel ban in Sweden has been adopted since it was adopted.
It is fantastic that three children have been protected in two months from entering into marriage, says Issis Melin.
The curator knew that the 17-year-old had been divorced from a cousin as an eleven-year-old in his home country.
Three years later, the girl came to Sweden with her cousin, with whom she is no longer married, according to the data.
Based on the knowledge that the 17-year-old had previously been divorced, the school staff became concerned when informed that the parents planned to take the daughter first to Turkey and then to Saudi Arabia.
- I am very happy that all important actors have acted and that the matter has been dealt with quickly.
A big compliment to the Social Welfare Board who dared to try the new law, says Issis Melin.
The parents appealed the Administrative Court's ruling because they believe that there is no risk that the daughter enters into marriage and that she is free to return to Sweden whenever she wants.
