What are the weaknesses of a common law relationship?

The most troublesome weakness of common law relationships, or more often called common law marriages, is the lack of legal rights. Common law marriage is not legally recognized in most jurisdictions. That means the partners do not have any of the legal rights associated with a legal marriage, especially property rights and rights of inheritance. Even in the few states in the United States that recognize common law marriage, the rights do not always reach the level of legal rights acquired by a a legal marriage.
