If you go by 'number of people' then monogamy (one man one woman) is the most common.

If you go by the number of cultures then polygyny (one man many women) is the most common even though the vast number of people in these cultures are monogamous.

In the aftermath of major wars unofficial polygyny become quite common even though it is not admitted to.

Do Arkansas have common law marriage?

Arkansas (along with most states) does not recognize common law marriage. The only exception to that would be if you previously lived in another state that did recognize common law marriage (again, most states don't) and you were considered common law married in that state, and you then later moved to Arkansas.
