Chapter 7 · Human rights
En gift person säger nej till sex. Partnern hävdar att äktenskapet räcker som samtycke. Vad gäller i Sverige?
A married person says no to sex. Their partner claims marriage counts as consent. What applies in Sweden?
Correct answer: Voluntary participation is required within marriage too
Marriage does not change the requirement of voluntary participation. Everyone controls their own body, and a previous yes does not mean yes now.
Key words
samtycke · consent
