    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 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)
