A common misconception is that the length of cohabitation creates common-law status. This is not true. Three elements are necessary and none relate to a time-frame. A couple must:
1. Live together; 2. Agree between themselves to be Marriage; 3. Represent themselves as married (also called “holding-out.”).
The agreement in the second element does not have to be written; it can be implied by the behavior of the parties. Signing leases as husband and wife or filing joint income tax returns are examples of the proof used to imply a common-law Marriage.
Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and D.C. recognize common-law Marriages. Ohio repealed its recognition in 1992. Pennsylvania has just now abolished it. Other states may recognize an informal Marriage if it was originally contracted within one of these states.
In the past, common-law Marriage was often seen on the lower socio-economic rungs of the ladder. However, celebrities often make the news with claims by their live-ins of this status.

The first sexual revolution: lust and liberty in the 18th century
The Guardian
The law codes of the Anglo-Saxon kings of England treated women as chattels, but they also forbade married men to fornicate with their slaves, and ordered that adulteresses be publicly disgraced, lose their goods and have their ears and noses cut off.
