In Alabama, if you leave your clothes at someone's house for over 7 days, you're considered commonlaw married.

Any wonder why Alabama is memed as the incest state? πŸ€”

In Texas, if you tell three people you're married, then you're legally married.

I wonder how many other states have crazy laws like this.
