In Trinidad and Tobago a common Law wife or husband is now recognised as the legal spouse of the other person in the relationship.

It is worth checking carefully as not all countries recognise this as a legal status. This gives a good survey of different legal terms for cohabitation:

Hi,
There are quite a number of such cultural differences in 'the west'.

eg we don't include a photo with our CV/resume.

eg we don't specify our date of birth or age

eg we don't specify our religion
