Two natural numbers $m$ and $n$ are betrothed (or quasi-amicable) if $\sigma(m) = \sigma(n) = m + n + 1$, where $\sigma$ is the sum-of-divisors function. Equivalently, the sum of the proper divisors of $m$ equals $n + 1$, and the sum of the proper divisors of $n$ equals $m + 1$.

The smallest known betrothed pair $(48, 75)$.
IsBetrothed is symmetric.
Same parity betrothed numbers conjecture. Do there exist betrothed numbers $(m, n)$ where both have the same parity (both even or both odd)?
All known betrothed pairs consist of one even and one odd number.
