Was a concubine a single woman having sex with the partner of her choice or a married woman?The bible is somewhat ambiguous about the status of a concubine but most scholars agree a concubine was considered a " secondary wife" and not a single woman that was choosing to have sex. We notice that in the account of the unnamed concubine in Judges 19–20. The Levite is referred to as the “husband” of the woman (19:3; 20:4) and the “son-in-law” of the woman’s father (19:5), who in turn is referred to as the Levite’s “father-in-law” (19:4, 7, 9). So sex between a man and his concubine was not considered "fornication", or "sex outside marriage" but sex within a marriage contract, with a secondary wife. Effectively, polygamy. God's tolerating this legally binding arrangement does not indicate that single people having sex without the sanction of marriage has support in scripture.
