What is common law marriage in Utah and how does it differ from traditional marriage?

Common law marriage in Utah is a legal recognition of a relationship where a couple lives together and presents themselves as married without a formal ceremony. In Utah, common law marriage requires both parties to be of legal age, have the mental capacity to consent, and openly declare themselves as married. This differs from traditional marriage in that common law marriage does not require a marriage license or ceremony, but still grants similar legal rights and responsibilities as a formal marriage.
