However, the term "common-law marriage" has wider informal use, and is commonly used to refer to cohabiting couples, regardless of any rights they may have. The institution of common-law marriage, in its original legal meaning, has been abolished in almost all jurisdictions that used to have it, and only survives in a few US states. In several jurisdictions, such as parts of Canada, while the law recognizes unmarried couples for various purposes, such relations are not common-law marriages within the original meaning of this legal concept.

While it has been argued that "polygamy offers same-sex marriage advocates a reason to reject the claim that there is a long tradition of defining marriage between one man and one woman", the apparent mutual exclusivity of polygamy and same-sex marriage may reflect a view that "advocates should continue to distance same-sex marriage from plural marriage" even though "polygamy and same-sex marriage may share some common ground". 1900: 2110: 4529: 7844: 5833: 4599: 4212: 5868: 5588: 3617: 2635: 7813: 7764: 6973: 5693: 5168: 4958: 4888: 1445: 7367: 5238: 4354: 4247: 1760: 990: 640: 5203: 3897: 3215: 1060: 955: 6480:(1215), which required all marriages to be announced in a church by a priest. The Council of Trent (1545โ€“1563) introduced more specific requirements, ruling that future marriages would be valid only if witnessed by the pastor of the parish or the local ordinary (the bishop of the diocese) or by the delegate of one of the said witnesses, the marriage being invalid otherwise, even if witnessed by a Catholic priest.
