Hmm. Now that you mention it, I've never considered whether that's a thing in Zetan law. Given that said code of laws was influenced so heavily by the early Wedge Defenders, who were mostly bohemian college kids, it probably is, so yeah, there's that.

(As it happens, common-law marriage has never existed in the statutes of Maine; it was abolished in Massachusetts Bay Colony, which the Province of Maine was then part of, in 1620, and not revisited when Maine became a separate state in 1820.)
