Actually I didn't have any beliefs about California law; my question was more general. Nebraska does not have common law marriage either, but recognizes legal marriage by common law from other states.

So I guess my question is state-specific, to those who recognize common-law marriage, and therefore unanswerable here.

(Athough it would seem that if this state recognizes common-law marriage from other states, even if we don't have it here, that would set some sort of precedent for recognizing other types of marriage not performed here.)
