The True Finns’ youth organisation says that marriage is an institution between one man and one woman only, in response to the Greens’ youth wing (ViNO) backing free choice in the gender and number of spouses. True Finns Youth consider this stand to be an instance of Islamisation.
True Finns Youth believes that Finland’s current legislation on marriage reflects the values of the Finnish people and that there is no need to change it. Allowing polygamy would also create a score of practical problems which the Federation of Green Youth and Students fails to take into consideration, according to the True Finns’ youth wing.
They deem ViNO’s position to be part of a wider phenomenon of Islamisation, in which they believe traditional European values are cast aside in favour of moulding society to fit Islamic customs.
The True Finns youths do not take a stand as regards the gender of spouses in a polygamous marriage.
The Green League has declared that it does not support ViNO’s position on this matter.
