In addition, five states have "grandfathered" common law marriage (Georgia, Idaho, Ohio, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania) allowing those established before a certain date to be recognized. New Hampshire recognizes common law marriage only for purposes of probate, and Utah recognizes common law marriages only if they have been validated by a court or administrative order."

A common law marriage cannot be created in Oregon. However, if a couple is from a state that recognizes common law marriage and the couple meets the common law marriage requirements of that state, then Oregon will recognize the marriage of that state as valid.
That depends on what you mean.The state of Ohio abolished common-law marriage on October 10, 1991. All common-law marriages in existence at that time continue to be valid, but no cohabitation meeting the requirements only after that date is considered to be a valid marriage ...UNLESS it has been recognized as valid in another state. All US states recognize common-law marriages that have been validly contracted in any other state, though there may be exceptions for marriages considered to be "odious to public policy" ... to give an example, even if some state allowed a marriage between a parent and one of his or her children it would generally NOT be recognized in other states.
