             her husband, her migration record and her medical condition, the case.

             leaves space for speculations.

             Opinion on the Case.

             Firstly, the primary and most obvious reason for which the woman could have.

             applied for asylum in Germany is on the grounds of fleeing persecution or.

             serious harm (based on race, religion, nationality, belonging to a specific.

             social group) in the country of origin or due to a stateless situation.

             "Asylum is a fundamental right and granting such is an international.

             obligation, originally recognized in the 1951 Geneva Convention on the.

             protection of refugees."[2] All foreigners from outside EU who wish to.

             remain in Germany for longer than three months must obtain a residence.

             permit or qualify for asylum. Also, in accordance with Article 16a of the.

             Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany, politically persecuted.

             individuals can be granted asylum in Germany. However, Germany has.

             continually being criticized for reducing the number of people granted.

             entry into the country. In 2012, the flow of asylum seekers brings the.

             total number of 65 000, coming mostly from the Balkans, Afghanistan, Syria,.

             Iran.[3] Currently, with the Arab Awakening, Syria is the number one.

             country of inception among those seeking asylum in Germany. More than 3,400.

             Syrians (June, 2012) are living in the country under a "Duldung" status or.

             "tolerated" to stay temporarily. More than half of them have spent more.

             than six years in the country with the same status.
