Definition

Conjugal segregation refers to the separation of spouses or partners due to legal or social barriers. This can occur when couples are prevented from living together, having marital or intimate relations, or having legal recognition of their relationship. Conjugal segregation may be enforced through laws, policies, or cultural norms that discriminate against certain types of relationships, such as interracial or same-sex marriages. It can lead to social and economic disadvantages for couples and their families, as well as emotional and psychological hardships.
