No. However, California may recognize a valid marriage from another State, i.e. if another State declares two people to be married via common law marriage, then California would recognize it.

In a general sense, California does not recognize a common law marriage, even if it is recognized in another state.

California has no provision for common law marriages. However, California recognizes a legal marriage from another state or jurisdiction. A couple that lives in a state that has a provision for the formation of a common law marriage. this marriage would be recognized in California.
