Editing Common-law marriage (section)

===Israel===
In [[Israel]], courts and a few statutes (such as social security which grants death and disability benefits) have recognized an institute of {{lang|he-Latn|yeduim batsibur}} ([[:he:ידוע בציבור|{{lang|he|cat=no|ידועים בציבור}}]]) meaning a couple who are "known in the public" (lit. translation) as living together as husband and wife. Generally speaking the couple needs to satisfy two tests which are: 1) "intimate life similar to married couple, relationship based on same emotions of affection and love, dedication and faithfulness, showing they have chosen to share their fate" ([[Supreme Court of Israel]], judge [[Zvi Berenson]]  (intimacy test)), and 2) sharing household (economic test). In addition courts usually are more likely to recognize such relationship as marriage for granting benefits if the couple could not get married under the Israeli law.<ref>{{lang|he|ע"א 621/69 קרול נסיס נגד קוינה יוסטר, פד"י כד(1) עמ' 617}}</ref>

Israel's common-law status grants Israeli couples virtually the same benefits and privileges as [[marriage in Israel|married couples in Israel]].
