Concubinage is the relationship between persons who are cohabiting without the benefit of marriage. It is an archaic term. Concubineage was used in ancient Rome (and through the early middle ages) when a man co-habitated with a woman who did not have the social status required for marriage. In Rome, men didn't marry until they were in their late twenties at which time the concubine and her children would be abandoned when the man's marriage was arranged.
