agree  Nelida Kreer: Sí, también regularize, formalize. De acuerdo con "common-law marriage" porque indudablemente se trata de un concubinato que está legitimándose. Saludos.

  -> Muchas gracias Niki ;)
disagree  Henry Hinds: El término "common-law marriage" no significa concubinato, es matrimonio. Dicho lo anterior, muchísima gente lo emplea mal. Puedes aprender o respingar, tú eliges.
