    In several countries, and absolutely historically, it’s actually been a government-classified relationship status.

    It just means people involved in a romantic and sexual relationship who are unwilling or unable to legally marry for whatever reason (because they are already married, because they aren’t legally qualified, such as one member is from a slave caste, etc)
