What is a common law marriage?
A common law marriage is one in which the parties intend to be married, live together as husband and wife, and hold themselves out to the public as husband and wife, but do not go through a formal marriage ceremony (even if they have obtained a marriage license). Today only a few states allow common law marriages.
