A quick definition of hetaeria:
A hetaeria is a group or organization, like a club or fraternity. The word comes from Greek and means "companion." It can also be called a hetaery.
Heterologous artificial insemination is a way for a woman to get pregnant without having sex with a man. Instead, a doctor puts sperm from a donor into the woman's vagina. If the woman is married and her husband agrees to the insemination, he is considered the father of the child. If the woman is not married, it depends on the laws of the place where she lives whether the donor or the woman's partner is considered the father.
A more thorough explanation:
Hetaeria (pronounced h-tuh-ree-uh) is a term from Roman law that refers to a society, guild, or college. It can also be called a fraternity.
