Relationship by Conduct: Family-informed opinion is relevant evidence but cannot alone establish marriage in specified divorce or criminal proceedings.
Opinion evidence on personal relationships is relevant when expressed through conduct by a family member or another person with special means of knowledge. Conduct showing that persons were treated as husband and wife, or that an individual was treated as a legitimate child by family members, may support the asserted relationship. Such evidence alone is insufficient to prove marriage in divorce proceedings or specified matrimonial criminal prosecutions.
