Common Law Marriage Legal - in Your City

Did you know that a marriage license is "voluntary" and truly offers no benefits?  Did you know that it actually harms you more than helps you?  If you're reading this, chances are you're looking into getting a marriage license in your city.  Did you know it's never been illegal for a man and woman to be married?

You can be married without a marriage license - one man and one woman, and still file your taxes jointly.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, didn't have a marriage license.  Why do you?

Did you see your City listed?  It should be because it's completely legal and lawful to have a common law marriage in every State in the United States of America.  The common misconception is that most State's claim to not "recognize" the marriage relationship simply because it is NOT a part of the covenant or contract or agreement.  In legal speak, that means they do not have any knowledge of the terms and conditions and therefore are not able to recognize something they are not party to.

The reason why common law marriage is legal in every City in the United States of America, every county in the United States of America, every state in the United States of America.  You citizen have the right to get married.  Every human has the right to marry in the confines of a marital relationship of one male and one female.

Here is the United States Supreme Court ruling from 1877.

96 U.S. 76 - 24 L.Ed. 826 MEISTER v. MOORE October Term, 1877

"No doubt, a statute may take away a common-law right; but there is always a presumption that the legislature has no such intention, unless it be plainly expressed. A statute may declare that no marriages shall be valid unless they are solemnized in a prescribed manner; but such an enactment is a very different thing from a law requiring all marriages to be entered into in the presence of a magistrate or a clergyman, or that it be preceded by a license, or publication of banns, or be attested by witnesses. Such formal provisions may be construed as merely directory, instead of being treated as destructive of a common-law right to form the marriage relation by words of present assent. And such, we think, has been the rule generally adopted in construing statutes regulating marriage."
