In love. Engaged. Married.
We are celebrating 150 years of solidarity marriage! Information and inspiration on getting married for a residence permit. Germany is deporting people ‘on a grand scale’ and neo-fascist deportation fantasies have become socially acceptable under the term ‘remigration’. At the same time, the legal corridors for people on the move are being systematically restricted. The rise of the (new) right seems unstoppable.
All this makes it all the more important to take responsibility for one another. Let's talk about marriages of convenience! What is a solidarity marriage and how does it work? What hurdles and obstacles can be expected – and how can they be overcome? Pia Klemp, anti-fascist, activist and author, talks about solidarity marriages during the Nazi era, in the GDR and today. And she asks the question of all questions: What's love got to do with it? www.schutzehe.org
