Translation
Who is not allowed to live together as a couple in Germany?
- A Hans (20 years) and Marie (19 years)
- B Tom (20 years) and Klaus (45 years)
- C Sofie (35 years) and Lisa (40 years)
- D Anne (13 years) and Tim (25 years) ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
Sexual relationships with anyone under 14 are strictly prohibited in Germany, so 13-year-old Anne cannot legally be a couple with 25-year-old Tim. All the other pairs are consenting adults, and same-sex couples have equal rights.
Tips
- Any age under 14 in a couple with an adult is the giveaway for this kind of question.
- The other pairs are fine because both partners are adults, regardless of gender or age gap.
