Causal Betrothal

A causal betrothal in Vorinism is conditional; a woman could be engaged, but would have no legal footing until an official betrothal was signed and verified by ardents.
==Known Causal Betrothals==
Jasnah arranges such a betrothal between her ward, Shallan, and her cousin, Adolin. Still, she tells Shallan that Dalinar would rather that she and his son meet before anything more binding is agreed upon.
Dalinar recalls meeting Evi, courting her - awkwardly, since both knew it was an arrangement of political necessity - and eventually entering into a causal betrothal. He doesn't remember love, but he does remember attraction.
