Indiana officially abolished common law marriage on January 1, 1958. Before this date, couples could be considered legally married without a formal ceremony, provided they met certain criteria. However, marriages established under common law before the abolition remain valid. Since 1958, all marriages in Indiana must be formalized through a marriage license and ceremony.
