No, being a common law wife does not automatically confer the status of next of kin. Next of kin typically refers to a person's closest living blood relatives, such as a spouse, parents, or siblings. However, the legal recognition of common law relationships varies by jurisdiction, and in some cases, common law spouses may be granted certain rights and responsibilities similar to married couples.
