A subgroup H of a group G is said to be weakly normal if H g = H whenever g is an element of G such that H g ≤ N G (H). There is a strictly relation between weak normality and groups in which normality is a transitive relation ( T-groups). In [Ballester-Bolinches, A., Esteban-Romero, R. (2003). On finite T-groups. J. Aust. Math. Soc. 75:181–191] it is proved that a finite group G is a soluble T-group if and only if every subgroup of G is weakly normal. In this article, we extend the above result to infinite groups having no infinite simple sections. Moreover, it will be shown that every locally graded non-periodic group, all of whose subgroups are weakly normal, is abelian.
