Oklahoma's laws and court decisions may be in conflict about whether common law marriages formed in that state after 11/1/98 will be recognized.) Pennsylvania (if created before 9/03) Rhode Island South Carolina Texas Utah Washington, D.C. Google "common law marriage states" for more information. -- Maria Many would be scantily clad if dressed in their own humility. HUGS HUGS HUGS
