In 2026, what applies to two people of the same sex who wish to marry in Sweden?
Correct answer: They may marry if they meet the marriage requirements
Swedish law allows two people to marry regardless of sex. Ordinary impediments, such as being under eighteen or already married, must still be checked. In 2009 the Church of Sweden, Svenska kyrkan, also decided to conduct same-sex weddings.
