Em 4 de março de 2024, o Tribunal Distrital de Oslo manteve a recusa, pela Noruega, de subvenções estatais e de registro, entendendo que a prática de exclusão violava o direito de livre saída dos menores batizados ('quase impossível' para eles exercê-lo) e equivalia a violência psicológica, e condenou a organização a pagar custas de cerca de 1,14 milhão de coroas norueguesas.

Oslo tingrett (Oslo District Court), judgment TOSL-2022-186588 / TOSL-2023-23178, “Jehovas vitner v. Staten v/Barne- og familiedepartementet”

4 de março de 2024 · sections 3.1, 3.3 (as extracted) · Oslo tingrett (published on Lovdata)

“For døpte mindreårige i den alderen vil det være tilnærmet umulig å utøve retten til fri utmelding”

Judge Ole Kristen Øverberg acquitted the State and ordered the organisation to pay costs of NOK 1,140,505, holding that the exclusion practice infringed baptised minors' right of free withdrawal and amounted to 'psykisk vold' (psychological violence); the judgment quoted the lv appendix ('Lojale kristne familiemedlemmer leter ikke etter unnskyldninger for å ha kontakt ...').

Nota de procedência e verificação

Nota de confiança. Lovdata page opened via the fetch tool, which returned the case numbers, date, judge, outcome, costs and extracted Norwegian passages; the full judgment text was not read line by line, so the extracted quotations are reported as the summary gives them, and the claim they support is labelled supported. Downgraded to supported after review: the page was opened but the wording or date recorded here was tool-summarised, translated or inferred rather than confirmed by eye; re-read before upgrading.

29 de abril de 2026 · paras 4, 39-45, 94-102, 110-127, 149-152, 227-230 · Norges Høyesterett

“Members of the religious community are thus not to associate with former members, whether disfellowshipped or withdrawn. This also applies to close relatives, unless they belong to the same household. Family ties are not severed, but with regard to family members other than those with whom one lives, contact is permitted only in necessary family matters. It is undisputed that the threshold for such contact is relatively high.”

3-2 majority (Steen, Arntzen, Hellerslia; Poulsen and Falkanger dissenting) dismissed the State's appeal and declared the refusals of registration and grants invalid; unanimous that infringement of children's rights was not proved; majority: practice 'may entail a clear psychological pressure not to withdraw' (para 123) but not 'improper pressure' under Art. 9 ECHR; dissent: right to withdraw infringed.
