Was there such a thing as common law marriage in the early 60’s?

I thought that didn’t come around until the late 70’s early 80’s??

Just asking.

Yes, but not in all states, and I don't think Hawaii had it. Regardless, it doesn't matter, since SAD and Obama Sr. weren't together long enough to have a common law marriage; they hadn't even been together a year before they separated.
