And abortion was allowed everywhere until 1821: "Connecticut was the first U.S. state to outlaw medicinal abortion after quickening in 1821, followed by 10 of the 26 states creating similar restrictions within 20 years. New York made post-quickening abortions a felony and pre-quickening abortions a misdemeanor in 1829."

Marriage was legal, but the unions I described were not considered marriage... until they were.
Common law marriages are not recognized in all states. Some recognize them if they began before a certain date, but not after. The Full Faith and Credit Clause of the United States Constitution would have seemed to have fixed that, but Texas refused to accept that two women who wanted a divorce could get one, since Texas didn't acknowledge same sex marriages.
Matt and Crystal got married in Kansas. They returned home to Nebraska. Matt was arrested and went to jail for 15 months for statutory rape. She was 13.
