Leiermål was a bureaucratic (legal and ecclesiastical) designation used in Scandinavia in approximately the 17th and 18th centuries on various forms of sexual relations outside of marriage. Leiermål had particular importance to women and men in all age and social groups in Scandinavia in the 1600s and 1700s because in this period, new laws and severe penalties were introduced in this area.
