In the exam (German)
Wer darf in Deutschland nicht als Paar zusammenleben?
- aHans (20 years old) and Marie (19 years old)Hans (20 Jahre) und Marie (19 Jahre)
- bTom (20 years old) and Klaus (45 years old)Tom (20 Jahre) und Klaus (45 Jahre)
- cSofie (35 years old) and Lisa (40 years old)Sofie (35 Jahre) und Lisa (40 Jahre)
- dAnne (13 years old) and Tim (25 years old)Anne (13 Jahre) und Tim (25 Jahre)Correct answer
Why?
Anne is 13 years old and therefore a child. Sexual acts by an adult with a child under 14 are always a criminal offence in Germany – that is why Anne and Tim may not be a couple. Between adults the age difference does not matter, and two women or two men may also live together as a couple.
