The administrative court has ruled that a Muslim boy in Munkedal should get extra financial benefits. The boy lives in accommodation for unaccompanied refugee children and the reason for the extra support is so that he can buy halal food. According to the administrative court, religious freedom constitutes sufficient grounds for him to be granted higher living expenses.

The civil servants think that the boy gets adequate vegetarian food where he is living and that he can use his pocket money to cover the costs of halal food, for example.
According to this other article, the Muslim gets 1905 euros per month in student support. The court decided he should get another 700 euros per month to pay for halal food. The Muslim practises martial arts and claims he needs protein so he can perform properly. He also claims he promised his mother that would only ever eat halal food.
