When two people fall in love, they are called a boyfriend and girlfriend. When they get married, they become a husband and wife. But what are they called during the months between their engagement and their wedding day? The English language borrowed two elegant French words for this exact period: Fiancé and Fiancée.
In modern casual English text messaging, many people ignore the French spelling rules and just lazily use 'Fiance' for both men and women, though it is technically incorrect.
Once the couple officially signs the wedding papers or completes the religious marriage rituals, they immediately lose the title of fiancé/fiancée and become spouses.
Because these are relationship titles, the translation changes based on the gender of the person.
These words are borrowed directly from the French language, which has strict male/female spellings.
The official engagement ceremony where rings are exchanged is called വിവാഹനിശ്ചയം (Vivaha Nischayam) in Malayalam.
