Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.105.345.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansion. All game pack. All stuff pack but the crystal creation. No kits.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Saved pre made sims that were originally engaged to the library later imported them to a new world going into edit household mode unable to change their relationships they are stuck as fiance and the game only give me two options household members or fiancee when I click household it reverts back to fiance.
What happens when the bug occurs? I'm unable to edit their relationship in edit household mode from fiance to husband/wife on top of that running random marriage through mccc [The functionality already prefers Sims that are significant other] doesn't work properly [example Sim 1, sim 2 are engaged when the random marriage happens sim 1 will marry sim 5 and not sim 2]
What do you expect to see? A way that I can possibly fix it as I have over 25 households with the same issue. And yes I have disabled all of my mods and they weren't the issue at first I thought it might be mccc random marriage so I ask them for help "something in your settings is not allowing it to happen and marking the significant other as not available." "Either that or they are not being returned by EA's functionality as a significant other" "If your Sims were valid to be married and engaged, they would already be married" that just some of the things deaderpool said...
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

Please describe the patch or change you made. I believe after For Rents came out.

If you put these "once engaged" couples in the game from your library, and play them, do you get the option for them to elope immediately, and if they do, can they actually complete a marriage ceremony? Is the same thing true with planning a wedding and having a marriage ceremony successfully complete in front of guests?
If they do complete the marriage ceremony through either method, does the game recognize them as married, ie, no longer able to be married to someone else via story progression?
If you use MCCC, can you delete all relationships, have them first kiss, become girlfriend/boyfriend, and propose again to have the game recognize them as truly engaged? If you are able to do this, does the game then still try to marry them off to a sim they were never engaged to via story progression? If you are able to get the couple re-engaged through this process, do they show the same inability to be changed to some other state through CAS that you noticed when they came out of your library as previously engaged. If not, how do the newly engaged couples differ from what you were seeing with the library couples?
Can you verify the same problem exists in a game save that has never had mods, after letting the game generate a new saves folder in a game without mods, and putting the library sims into that never had mods game? Do you get the same results as above?
Your answers to these questions will help to more clearly identify what is happening, and whether or not what is happening should be classified as a glitch.
edited to ask one more question: If you use MCCC and delete all relationships, can you then save the couple to your library and put them back into the game and then successfully change their state inside CAS to your desired configuration?

Also I noticed this is happening with every relation type married/family so this isn't happening with just engaged like I though
I have cheats enable so I should have the option to completely change their relationship

From what you describe, I think you might be running into game mechanics, rather than a glitch. But perhaps someone else with more experience in this type of thing can weigh in, now that you have provided more information. Thank you for testing this and clarifying.
