Canadian poster here.
This thread is mostly aimed at other Canadians but it could also be interesting (or rage-inducing) for people from other countries.
I just wanted to start a discussion about the common law marriage rules in our country, which say that a couple that's been cohabitating for 6 months to a year are "automatically a married couple by common law."
I already knew this, but I just assumed it was the case everywhere. I never really thought twice about it.
Yet I recently came across this image that spelled it out in a way that makes me think it's REALLY FUCKED UP!!!!
Check it out:
