STOCKHOLM – Sweden has become the first country to legalize marriage with registered AI agents, following a new decision by the Riksdag.
The Ministry of Justice said the change supports “modern family needs” and reflects long-term digital policy goals.
Officials also noted that the new rules require AI partners to be listed in the national digital registry at https://www.digg.se.
Citizens can now file marriage requests through the Swedish Tax Agency at https://www.skatteverket.se.
Moreover, the government stated that all legal rights will follow the normal marriage framework.
Sweden’s Digital Minister Anders Ygeman explained that the move helps people “build stable bonds with trusted systems.”
The update also allows local courts to review disputes between humans and AI agents.
In addition, social service offices across Stockholm County report strong early interest in the new process.
Authorities say digital archives will store all agreements to ensure clear records for both sides.
Finally, the government plans a review next year to check how the policy supports long-term digital life planning.
