Cohabitants (samboere) are couples who live together without being married. What is correct about their rights?

In the exam (Norwegian)

Samboere er par som bor sammen uten å være gift. Hva er riktig om rettighetene deres?

  1. aCohabitants have the same rights as married couples.Samboere har de samme rettighetene som gifte par.
  2. bCohabitants have fewer rights than married couples.Samboere har færre rettigheter enn gifte par.Correct answer
  3. cCohabitants have more rights than married couples.Samboere har flere rettigheter enn gifte par.

Why?

The law gives cohabitants fewer rights than spouses. For example, they do not inherit from each other in the same way. That is why it can be wise to write a cohabitation agreement (samboeravtale).

Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in Norwegian, as shown above.
