Abstract

According to the case's guidelines

1. Even in the case of a family life partnership, it must be examined separately for each member of the family whether there is a national ban on deporting under § 60 (5) or (7) AufenthG.

2. For the prognosis of the dangers threatening a return, it is generally to be assumed that a core family (parents and minor children) living in a family within the Federal territory returns to their country of origin. 

3. As a rule, the return prognosis of a joint return in the family association can also be assumed if individual family members have already been definitively granted a protection status or if a national prohibition of deportation has been established for them. 

4. It was not necessary to decide whether a rule of law should be accepted, if the protection of the rights of family ties and the protection of fundamental rights has to be rescinded for reasons of public safety and if deportation leading to the separation of the family association is possible.
