Common-law marriage
Common-law marriage (or
common law marriage), sometimes called informal marriage or marriage by habit and repute is, historically, a form of
interpersonal status in which a man and a woman are not legally
married. The term is often mistakenly understood to indicate an interpersonal relationship that is not recognized in law. In fact, a common law marriage is just as legally binding as a statutory or ceremonial marriage in some jurisdictions — it is just formed differently.
