Keep
सौतन means second wife . In British culture, traditionally second wife is not allowed. Hence, second relation is called or addressed as "keep". However, practically it does not have any exact term translation. "Step Wife" may explain it correctly.
Example sentence:
शादी के बाद फुलवा व रमा दोनों सौतन के बीच बराबर तकरार होने लगी।
After marriage Phulwa and Rama both the step wives started quarreling together.
