Marriage comes to mind the fastest to me. Common law is where there are laws and restrictions placed upon people that are rarely enforced and thereby are legally forgiven after a time sequence. for instance: a couple lives together illegally in some states and after a period of 7 years the "marriage" or union is then deemed to be legal.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

As your older brother, I've been where you are—maybe not exactly, but close enough.

An example of common law would be a common law marriage. A common-law marriage occurs when a marriage is valid by both parties but not registered in a church registry.
