Definition
Common-law marriage refers to a type of informal marriage where two individuals cohabit and present themselves as a married couple without having undergone a formal legal marriage ceremony. For a common-law marriage to be recognized, certain conditions, which vary by jurisdiction, must be met, including cohabitation for a specified period and a mutual intent to be regarded as husband and wife.
