A quick definition of meretricious relationship:

Term: Meretricious Relationship

Definition: A meretricious relationship is an old-fashioned term used to describe a situation where two people live together as if they are married, but they know that they are not legally married. It is like a pretend marriage, where the couple acts as if they are married, but they are not recognized as such by the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A meretricious relationship is a stable, long-term relationship in which two people live together as if they were married, but without actually being legally married. This type of relationship is often considered archaic and outdated.

Example: John and Jane have been living together for 10 years, sharing a home, finances, and responsibilities as if they were married. However, they have never gone through the legal process of getting married. Their relationship is considered meretricious.

Explanation: In a meretricious relationship, the couple lives together and shares a life as if they were married, but they have not gone through the legal process of getting married. This type of relationship is often seen as less stable and less committed than a legal marriage, as there is no legal obligation to stay together.
