It depends upon the location. More and more states do not recognize a common law marriage. In which case they are never considered married unless they get the license and have it properly recorded.

To protect the legal rights of marriage, there should be a legal agreement, in other words, get married!

The number of years of cohabitation required to be considered legally married varies by jurisdiction. In some places, there is no specific time requirement for cohabitation to establish a common law marriage. However, in jurisdictions where common law marriage is recognized, it typically takes several years of continuous cohabitation with the intention to be married for the relationship to be legally recognized as a marriage. It is important to consult the specific laws of your jurisdiction for accurate information.
