Answer
- B The spouses live their own separate lives for at least one year. After that, divorce is possible.
Explanation
The year of separation means that the spouses live apart for at least one year; only then can the marriage usually be dissolved (Section 1566 of the Civil Code). Living apart is also possible in the same home if the two no longer share a household. In special cases of hardship it can be faster.
