Is common law marriage a spanish law or English law?

Answer:
I'm not completely sure but I would say that it is English Law. Because from my research I found under "common-marriage law", the first Act of Marriage occurred in the 1700's. At the time, there was not a USA but there were 13 colonies, and Britain ruled over them. Britain and England are both the same country, so I think it's English Law.
