concubina, companheira
Explanation:
Do meu dicionário jurídico, common law wife = concubina.

Concubina: mulher que vive amasiada com um homem (Aurélio).

A palavra companheira ao invés de concubina é usada em alguns processos para designar aquela que vive dentro de uma união estável onde não há casamento no civil.
