Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A common-law marriage is a marriage that is recognized by law even though it was not solemnized by a religious or civil official. In most jurisdictions, common-law marriages require that the couple live together and hold themselves out as husband and wife. If a common-law marriage is ended, a court decree of divorce is required to dissolve the marriage.
