Marriage without a license is usually called common-law marriage, which may help you find more information about it.
Technically the US allows (as in does not explicitly forbid) common-law marriages. However, most of the states explicitly disallow common-law marriages. The exceptions are Iowa, Texas, Kansas, Alabama, Colorado, Montana, North and South Carolina, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island. New Hampshire and Utah have laws recognizing common-law marriages in certain circumstances.
