BPS defines marriage ('kawin') as the status of a person living as a husband or wife according to legal/customary/religious regulations, whether with a marriage certificate or not, but valid according to legal/customary/religious law.

Within the 'kawin' category are included those who have a partner without being bound by a legally valid marriage (customary, religious, state), but have a relationship like husband and wife, whether living together or not.
