"Hi Sandman, Common-Law marriage might be on it's way out in the USA. Most states have done away with it in the last few decades and only 9 states still have it. At the very least micro-marriage is a small improvement over a real marriage and divorce, because the danger of women's selfishness is spread over a dozen or more men throughout a woman's mating years. There'll be less male suicides as a result. Men won't kill themselves over losing a couch or television in a micro divorce, so it isn't nearly as catastrophic as losing his children and livelihood in a real divorce. Women lose a portion of their legal advantages in micro-marriage because they have to trade on desirability alone to leech resources from men, as religious and legal authorities are not as present and powerful in cohabitation as they are in marriage. Their desirability will end, the ride will stop, women will have nothing, and the men will just have to buy a new furniture set. I would call that a small victory." Well thanks for the comments ElCadejo. I had no idea that common law marriage wasn't so "common" in the United States. Here in Canada we don't have common law marriage, instead we have common law relationships. Like calling it a relationship instead of a marriage makes it better when the government forces you to hand over your wealth to your partner. In the province I live in, Ontario, the law says that a man and woman are in a common law relationship after spending three year living continuously together or having a child and cohabited in a relationship of some permanence. Canada it varies from Province to Province. Each one sets it's own rules and laws. The only Canadian province without common-law is Quebec which still uses old Napoleonic codes. And as a result the birth rate is higher in Quebec. The province of , Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut automatically extend the presumption of equal asset division to common-law couples. According to Wikipedia: "Currently, 10 states Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah as well the District of Columbia allow common law marriages, and a common law marriage may be established if you were common law married in any of these jurisdictions." But enough of this factual information. Women got what they wanted which is the right to get a man's assets. But what they never expected was men to adapt to this and protect themselves from it.
