Question 245: Who may not live together as a couple in Germany?
Official question from the BAMF catalog used for the Einbürgerungstest (German citizenship test) and the Leben in Deutschland test. Topic: Law and the Rule of Law.
The question as it appears on the exam
Wer darf in Deutschland nicht als Paar zusammenleben?
The Einbürgerungstest is written and sat in German only, with no dictionary allowed. Use the English below to understand the question, but learn to recognise the German wording above — that is what you will see on the day.
Answer options

- BTom (20 Jahre) und Klaus (45 Jahre)Tom (20 years) and Klaus (45 years)
- CSofie (35 Jahre) und Lisa (40 Jahre)Sofie (35 years) and Lisa (40 years)
- DAnne (13 Jahre) und Tim (25 Jahre)Anne (13 years) and Tim (25 years)Correct
Correct answer
D — Anne (13 Jahre) und Tim (25 Jahre)
Anne (13 years) and Tim (25 years)
Why this is the answer
Anne, aged 13, and Tim, aged 25, may not live together as a couple because Anne is a child and cannot legally consent to a sexual relationship with an adult. The sex or sexual orientation of the adult couples in the other options is irrelevant.
How this question fits into the exam
On exam day you answer 33 questions in 60 minutes: 30 from the general catalog of 300 questions — this question is one of them — and 3 about your federal state. You pass with 17 correct answers. Aiming for exactly 17 leaves no margin for nerves, so take timed mock exams until 33 out of 33 feels routine.
