The aim of this study was to learn how the utreseförbud is applied in the Swedish judiciary. The law is one of the preventive measures introduced to protect children from honor-related violence and oppression. Utreseförbudet aims to protect children when there is a substantial risk for the child to be taken abroad for the purpose of entering into a forced marriage or being exposed to female genital mutilation. This study examines how the substantial risk in the law is described by the social welfare board and how the court assesses the substantial risk. The empirical material of the study consists of the 27 judgements made so far, concerning utreseförbudet. The material was examined through a content analysis and analyzed using the central theoretical concepts: honor, control mechanisms to maintain the ideal of virginity and discretion. Based on the results of the study, it emerged that utreseförbud is issued when the social welfare board and the court both have extensive knowledge of honor and when the circumstances described are considered concrete. Finally, it is discussed whether the law should be extended to include all forms of abduction in an honor context.
