States have established laws pertaining to the legal requirements of marriage. A couple is legally married when they have met the requirements for a legal marriage in the state where they reside. In the past, a marriage that was legal in one state would be recognized as legal in another. However, some states do not recognize common law marriages that were legal in another state and most states do not recognize same sex marriages performed in the few states where they are legal.
Fifteen states recognize common law marriages although some have restrictions. Alabama, Colorado, District of Columbia, Georgia (before 1/97), Idaho (before (1/96), Iowa, Kansas, Montana, New Hampshire (pertains to inheritance rights), Ohio, Oklahoma (with rather odd stipulations) Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah. However, common law marriages also have specified requirements for them to be considered "legal".
