Which form of living arrangement is not permitted in Germany?
- A A man and a woman are divorced and live with new partners.
- B Two women live together.
- C A single father lives with his two children.
- D A man is married to two women at the same time. ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
German family law only allows monogamous marriage, so being married to two people at the same time is not permitted. Divorce, cohabitation and single parents raising their children are all lawful arrangements.
Tips
- Two spouses at once is the one arrangement that breaks German marriage law.
- Same-sex couples, single parents and remarried divorcees are all lawful, only simultaneous marriage to two people is not.
