The parents have a common child, but there is no marriage record. The cause may be that the gedcom by which the profile was created didn't have the record in the correct format that WikiTree recognizes, so searching for a marriage record is the action to take. The timeframe is another variable - today, many parents may be unmarried, which was less common 100 years ago. This suggestion's parameters are finding the opposite of what you indicate would be more precise.
