common-law marriage  

Definición

  • Common law marriage is a form of marriage that is recognized without legal and civil formalities such as a marriage license or a ceremony and includes all of the rights, privileges, and duties of formal marriage. This form of marriage was an important recognition of rights for early settlers in the United States, where access to “legal” marriage was limited simply by the distances one would have to travel to be formally married by a member of the clergy or state official.
