234 S.E.2d 506; 1977 Ga. LEXIS 1113

Opinion of the Court

Per curiam.

We granted certiorari in this case to consider whether equitable estoppel or laches is applicable to a claim of common law marriage.

After consideration, we find that they are not and hence that certiorari was improvidently granted.

Writ of certiorari dismissed as improvidently granted.
