    Default Common law

    No, Pa. is not a common law state. The only way you can be cosidered married, is if you use or change your last name to his, with his approval. He introduces you and calls you his wife in a public setting, or he fills out inheritence forms, next of kin, or benificiary forms naming you as spouse.
