I was having a small talk with some colleagues a few minutes ago. One of the guys mentioned that he is going to Usher’s concert tonight with his girl friend. I was kinda shocked cuz this guy has a kid with this girl and they have been living together for three years. I asked him if he were married and he replied that he is living under common law agreement. OooK.
How is common law different from marriage? What are the advantages and disadvantages? No, I don’t have any such plans (yet 
)
Heck, nobody knows? saray bhaRay ho kay dullah banaiN gay? 
What kinda muslim site is this 
There are provisions on a state basis on how much rights two people sharing a roof can get. In some cases can even claim dependants & other benefits usually associated with a married couple.
Common law spouse ... means the two are treated as a couple, atleast for the purpose of various laws. Different states/countries have different ways to be eligible for common law status, and also what benefits are provided. In some cases, if a couple is together for more than two years, they qualify for "Common Law" status. It has mostly tax benefits and also in social secrity benefits etc.
They are not treated as a married couple in front of the church, generally speaking.
Siht, if it was left up the church or other religious edicts, people nowadayz could never even look at each other let alone make sweet love and get married. 
dont understand the point in getting married in the first place. The rest doestn matter.
For the western pplz is it normal to live 2gether without
marriage they don't look strange if u say i go with mah
gf to there and there u know its normal there.
For Desi pple is it like What The Hell but in America
Uk Desi pplz live like this com on! They aren't that saint.
NILU
Nilu… This was brilliant. I totally agree with you. :k:
Thnx

Common Law - Might get screwed over when you break up.
Marraige - Will Definately get screwed over when you break up.
Whot??
Yeah.. Whot??? I would agree with you too, if you would lift your sorry bum and post something as coherent as Nilu did above. Kaam chor!
hahaha
Western pplz that live in the west with their BF are ok in the west but like desis marriage is non-issue. It look sstrange with strangers who are BF's so they may B like what the heck but Goras are not desis.
Way to go Matsui… Well done. :k: I can see we can have a competition between you and Nilu. Something like “Jaywalking”.
what the hell is Jaywalking? This is NY. Not some godforsaken, waiting for the earth to swallow up sihthole like California. Hablo Ingles??
You don't know Jaywalking? Great. You would fit right in. Heck, you'd even get a head-start there.
even i know what jaywalking is :D this is a proud day for me
sadzz.... phir ho jayay aap ki entry......?
Just remember, it has to be something brilliant and sensible.
ai haye.. sochne dein hmmm
common law is what gore do (or some desis) when they are too scared to commit but too insecure to be on there on. They want to live life the way they want, without any rules.. but when its time to break up.. all the rules come into play..
marriage is about two people proving to each they love one another (or in some peoples cases, when their parents force them into a lifetime of imprisonment). This type of commitment shows guts (if both parties agreed whole heartedly, rather than being forced).. this is the better option :k:
