If the bride and groom are mature and accept each other,then is it nessasery for a ceromony or witnesses?

Yes and no, really. The Law of the land will not officially recognize a marriage without certain conditions met, including a ceremony and three witnesses, but a very small ceremony with only the witnesses and the person uniting the two is acceptable. The classic concept of marriage as applied here in the States is only one example of marriage, and by the way, is called "Statutory Marriage", which is a sort of three-way social contract between the two individuals who are to be united in wedlock and the State.

Merriam-Webster defines the word "marriage" as: Main Entry: mar·riage Pronunciation: \ˈmer-ij, ˈma-rij\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English mariage, from Anglo-French, from marier to marry Date: 14th century 1 a (1) : the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law (2) : the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage be : the mutual relation of married persons : The key words to remember here in the example given are "...in a consentual and contractual relationship recognized by law" While statutory marriages are indeed far more common that the alternatives, those alternatives do exist. American Common Law, which is indeed recognized as valid in most courts, including the United States Supreme Court, is applied when a marriage is challenged in the courts, and that common law serves the purpose of clarifying whether or not a marriage is indeed valid. In doing so, it examines certain factors which must be present in order to constitute a valid marriage.In a treatise on the validity of Common Law Marriages, Originalintent.

Org presents a list of conditions which must be met to constitute a valid and legally-binding marriage. It runs thus: "...We think it is in the best interest of the reader to discuss the elements that create a common law marriage that can never be invalidated by a court. * Consent - It is critical to be able to provide evidence of consent.

Although verbal consent is sufficient for validity, there are times (such as after one party has died) that a showing of verbal consent by both parties may be difficult to achieve. For this reason, it is highly recommended that consent by demonstrated through the existence of a written marriage contract, signed by both husband and wife. Cohabitation is also generally viewed as evidence of consent.

* Contract - A written marriage contract should establish the marriage in the present tense, as opposed to constituting a promise of marriage at some designated time in the future. Although courts have supported future tense marriage agreements, such an agreement is by means as secure as a present tense contract. The contract should specify the basic rights and duties of each party.

* Prior Marriages - Although courts have upheld the validity of some marriages in which one or both parties were still married (at common law) to other people, one should not count on such leniency. One should be able to prove (through evidence) that any prior marriages have been properly dissolved. * Secret Marriages - Although the courts have generally accepted the view that a husband and wife may choose to keep a marriage secret without affecting its validity, again, one should steer clear of arrangements that leave room for today's court to render unfavorable decisions concerning validity.

* Solemnization or ceremony - Although the accepted doctrine is that a ceremony of solemnization is not a required element for validity, such a ceremony demonstrates consent as well as dispelling any speculation of secrecy or deception. * Certificate of Marriage - While marriage certificates are most common these days in statutory marriages, one can create a marriage certificate easily enough on a personal computer, or one can have a graphic artist create one for you. The certificate should be signed by three witnesses.

A properly executed marriage certificate lends to the evidentiary weight of consent. * Photographic Evidence - In addition to a certificate of marriage, today one can memorialize the event in photographs or on video. * Religious Ceremony - The requirement to have a religious figure perform the service is essentially dead.

Such a requirement would bar atheists from marriage. Additionally, and more importantly, the common law is based on the Bible and there is no scriptural command, or even permission, for a religious leader to perform a wedding ceremony. This reality has been given recognition by the courts.

In summary, validity (or lack thereof) is often determined based a composite picture drawn from the totality of the circumstances. The person who wishes to establish an incontrovertible record of a valid common law marriage should make sure to steer clear of areas that leave room for ambiguity. One who wishes to make an incontrovertible record should: 1.

Have both parties sign a marriage contract and have the document notarized. 2. Have a ceremony with witnesses present.

3. Have three witnesses sign a marriage certificate.4. Memorialize the ceremony in photographs or on video.

5. Cohabitate after the contract has been signed or the ceremony performed.6. Let friends, co-workers, and people in the community know you and your spouse are married.

By applying each of these elements, there is no court in America that can declare your common law marriage invalid. " In other words, creating a valid marriage is but a matter of satisfying all the conditions accepted as making the marriage legal and binding. Common Law marriages are just as valid as Statutory marriages.
