Thank you, Dan, for setting the record straight. You're right, I'm wrong. As it turns out, the Marriage Act in England abolished common law marriage in England and Wales, and, since the Act predated the formation of Canada, in Canada as well. In the US, as you said, several states have adopted a form of common law marriage. http://www.brainyencyclopedia.com/encyclopedia/c/co/common_law_marriage.html My apologies for misleading the list.
