The USA doesn't subscribe to common law marriages then or is it like many other legal concepts a state-to-state thing? We have that out here after five years of continued cohabitation as if the man and women were married both enjoy the rights of married spouses.

From Essence website:
Simmons and Wayans plan to walk down the aisle. Just not now. "Of course we talk about that and it's looking good," says Simmons. "But I don't want to be a pregnant bride. I wanna have a beautiful wedding, hopefully a destination wedding where I can show off my figure in a beautiful long flowing dress."
after 8 years, "it's looking good"?
sad face.

LTR/cohabitation isn't uncommon there so afro. Common law marriage would clear all the shade and hysteria about unwed parents up AND save the expense and headache of planning a wedding.
