Titel: Were out of wedlock births encouraged in the 1840's in Sweden ?.

It is curious that while it is believed that out of wedlock births were not accepted, it was fairly prevalent. My GGrandmother had 3 children out of wedlock with the same man. That man was a Captain in the Home Guard. The first child was born in 1891 and the third in 1901, indicating the relationship spanned at least 11 years. Two of my GGrandmother's sisters were famous actresses in Stockholm at this time. I cannot see how these events could take place in parallel if out of wedlock births were viewed so dimly. Can anyone expain this or shed some light on it for me?
