It depends on the country and in the USA, it depends on the state. If you hold yourself out to be husband and wife in some states, your "common law" marriage can be legally recognized by a court. However, in the majority of states you need legal documentation in the form of a marriage license that is signed and returned by the official who solemnizes the marriage.
