In France (at least), there are different couple statuses recognized, one of them is Marriage, but another that is common nowadays is "PACS" (some kind of non-religious recognized union between two persons), that PACS accounts (since 2019) for around half of all unions of French couple (whatever the sex of both by the way)
The data may not count for these others kind of recognized unions, and only account for that Catholic union
Actually, I don't know well, but I'm not even sure that Marriage is for all religions, there may be people "married" according to their religion, but not technically Married according to catholic/state rules
Well the legend of the map says "% of live births outside marriage or civil partnership".
The map yes, but the data source not really
For France again, only information is that the percentage is sourced "From Civil Status", and I don't know if this "Civil status" account for marriage only or others unions also. Only source I've found on Insee (French civil status public data) accounts only for civil Marriage, and not for other unions: https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/6524902?sommaire=6524912#dictionnaire
