How to use "Illicit" in context?
relationships
illicit relationships involve romantic or sexual relationships between people who are not legally married to each other. These relationships are often considered illegal because they are not sanctioned by the law. Illicit relationships can be dangerous, because they can lead to sex and childbirth without the proper papers or insurance. They can also lead to the spread of diseases and other infections.
There are a number of reasons why people may engage in an illicit relationship. Some people may not have access to legal marriage options. Other people may be unhappy with the legal options that are available to them. In any case, illicit relationships can create a lot of trouble for the people involved.
