Rankin, 153 Fla. 324 , 14 So.2d 714, 717 , that a sexual relationship incepted in meretriciousness will be presumed to continue in that state and when cohabitation begins while the man is ineligible to marry the duty falls on the woman to ‘show the metamorphosis from concubinage to marriage.’ This rule governs here instead of the one that of two marriages the later will be presumed valid.” (Emphasis added.)”
