What does it mean if a girl puts “есть друг” in Семейное положение?

Question

I'd like to know what if a girl wrote "есть друг" in her marital status, what does this mean?

Do ask the girl. Maybe she means you, and that is not a linguistic question. — Elena, Feb 04 '19 at 11:02
that will most likely mean having a boyfriend, but since people can write whatever, you cannot know for sure — Баян Купи-ка, Feb 04 '19 at 11:36
In russian VK(smth like fb) we have only this variant to say "I have a boyfriend" — A. Mira, Feb 08 '19 at 07:55
@Elena It is a linguistic question - the person asking it does not know the meaning of the word in the particular context. And it does really appear on people's profiles in vkontakte. — wondering, Feb 09 '19 at 17:08

That is an odd way to phrase it, but in this context, it probably means she is not single. Barring an odd sense of humor, "друг" most likely means "boyfriend" here.

It means she is in relationship. But that doesn't mean that she is married.
