    Clarifying consent for home sales

    Selling one's own home will no longer require the consent of a former spouse if more than ten years have passed since divorce or the death of the spouse. Clarifications will be made to the act so that this rule and its transitional period are applied correctly.

    Forced marriage annulment and child marriage restrictions

    A marriage entered into under duress could be dissolved by annulment, returning the person's marital status to what it was prior to the marriage. In addition, marriages entered into abroad while a minor would be recognised in Finland only in exceptional cases if one of the spouses was living in Finland when the marriage was entered into.
