👉 Thamudene is a term in the Wolof language that refers to a person who is not married, but has been legally married. This term was used by the colonial authorities during the French colonial rule in Senegal and other West African countries. It was originally used to describe individuals who were still unmarried or engaged in non-marital relationships with others. In modern times, it is often used as a euphemism for single people, especially those who are not married but have been legally married
