cohabitating spouse/married
I couldn't find an actual translation for the term in question. But based on some online Portuguese sources, it seems that the term refers to married persons (spouses) who are living together (co-habitating). I imagine, though, that one can be married to someone without actually living with them.

A wedding is one of the biggest expenses in Timor.
The bulk of the cost comes from the “barlake”, a Tetum word which can be translated as “dowry”, or “bride price”, even though the exchanges are usually two-way between the bride and groom families.
The gifts take the form of cash, goats, pigs, buffalo, old coins, gold or silver discs, swords, statues of Catholic saints, coral necklaces, spices, wardrobes, beds, mattresses, and even houses.
Each has different purposes and are exchanged at recognised exchange rates.

Hi Liz, in general many answers here are similar to others. That's not a problem. However, I do not think mine is so similar to yours. You chose a noun, instead of an adjective. "The barlake" is not a proper translation for "barlaqueado".
