Is it legal for a US citizen to marry a non-citizen in US?

Answer 1

In a way yes, because every country has their own records of families and marriages and Another Country will never ask to see information regarding another countries records. I do know that for example if you get married in Mexico then go to the U.S. and decide to get a divorce you are divorced in the U.S. but not in Mexico which is where you initially got married. You would have to travel to Mexico to make your divorce official in that country. Therefore you are not allowed to marry again in Mexico until an official divorce is finalized there.

In a much more practical way no, unless the laws of that country allow for multiple marriages. You could not, for example, marry someone in Outer Slobovia (where the law allows you to marry as many people as you can stand mothers-in-law), then come to the US and legally marry someone here, because the US would not regard you as free to marry.

Answer 2

No. Of course not. In the United States you can only be married to one person at a time. The same goes for any other jurisdiction in the Western World except Saskatchewan.

Answer 3

Of course not! The United States allows you to be married to a single person. If one of you is married, you cannot legally get married in the US. If you (or she) lie about it, then you are committing fraud and bigamy and the penalties get ugly.

Answer 4

No problem. All it takes as a valid marriage license. If the individual is in the US legally, they may be able to obtain permanent residency, but check the appropriate Immigration laws to make sure you are not separated for several years!

Answer 5

Yes, so long as they remain in that country and do not have another wife in the US. If someone (citizen or not) who has more than one wife moves to the US, all but their first marriage are dissolved. If they continue to live a polygamous lifestyle they are breaking the law.

Answer 6

Marriages which are legally performed and valid abroad are also legally valid in the United States, citizenship is another matter.

Answer 7

Yes it is. As long as is not a fraud to legalize( seller, buyer).

Answer 8

No. Of course not. In the United States you can only be married to one person at a time. The same goes for any other jurisdiction in the Western World except Saskatchewan.
