Explanation
In Germany, sexual relationships with persons under 14 are strictly prohibited. A 13-year-old cannot legally be in a couple with an adult. The other pairs consist of consenting adults, and same‑sex relationships are legal.
Tips
- Scan for ages: under 14 automatically indicates illegality for sexual relationships.
- Remember: adult–adult pairs are lawful regardless of gender or age gap.
- Same‑sex couples have equal rights.
- Marriage generally requires 18+, but cohabitation as a consenting adult couple is not restricted by gender.
- Use elimination: remove options where both are 18+; focus on any minor under 14.
