What does Undisclosed Spouse mean?

An undisclosed spouse refers to a person who is married but not acknowledged by the other person, or not known to others. This can happen when a person enters into a marriage without informing their family or friends, or when a marriage is not properly recorded. An undisclosed spouse may come forward after the death of their partner and claim a share of their assets.
