Is spanking illegal in Sweden

Answer 1

As is often the case with legal questions, no simple answer exists. This is because different states have different laws. Making this more complicated is not only the different laws in existence in different states, but also the differences of definitions in different states. For example, what one state might consider to be a severe and illegal spanking, might be perfectly in line in another.
