Common law marriage is a legal term used to describe a relationship in which a couple has lived together for a certain period of time and is considered married by the law. There are several synonyms that can be used for common law marriage, including informal marriage, domestic partnership, cohabitation, and de facto marriage. Each of these terms refers to a relationship in which a couple lives together and is recognized by the law as being in a committed relationship, but without the formalities of a legal marriage. While these terms may have slightly different definitions in different countries and regions, they generally refer to the same concept of a recognized partnership without a formal marriage ceremony.
