Sambo = Living together

Growing up in Norway in the fifties and sixties, most people were married if they lived together.
Nowadays many prefer to live together, have children together and spend their life together, without being married in any civil or religious ceremony.
So in addition to "Single", "Married","Divorced" and "Widowed", there is also "Sambo" (Sam = together, bo = to live).
But if persons who are Sambo do not write special testaments and legal agreements, a Sambo will not inherit the person he is Sambo with, in case that person dies.
