Translation
A young woman in Germany, 22 years old, lives with her boyfriend. The woman's parents do not approve because they do not like the boyfriend. What can the parents do?
- A They must respect the decision of their adult daughter. ✓ Correct answer
- B They have the right to bring the daughter back to the parental home.
- C They can go to the police and report the daughter.
- D They look for another man for the daughter.
Explanation
At 22, the woman is a legal adult and has the right to decide where and with whom she lives. Her parents' custody ended at 18, so they must respect her decision rather than force her home or involve the police.
Tips
- Volljaehrig at 18 ends parental custody, so an adult's living choices are her own.
- The police can only get involved if a crime has occurred, disapproving of a boyfriend is not one.
