Does common law marriage have legal standing?
Maybe. It depends on where you are living. Common law marriage is a legal concept that allows people who live together for a certain length of time to be legally married in the eyes of the law. The general idea behind the law is that, if two partners are already considered to be married, there's no need for them to go through the hassle of actually getting married in a civil ceremony or having their relationship legally registered. Common law marriage does have real-world implications—it can be used to argue for inheritance rights, for instance—but it also has important differences from what we typically think of as a marriage (i.e., one that has been approved by an official body).
