Yes. The crime of bigamy is committed when a person marries or is married to two different people at the same time. There are not laws preventing a couple from remarrying or renewing their vows in another state. The original marriage however will be the one of precedence.

∙ 16y agoThere is nothing illegal about having more than one marriage ceremony. There is no legal need to do so in a second state, as the second state will recognize the marriage from the first state. It also does not mean that you have to have two divorce proceedings to end the marriage. You could conduct a ceremony in all 50 states, but only the first one is the legally binding one. Now if you go to the second state and get a marriage license, you will have to affirm or attest, perhaps under oath, that you are not currently married. If you lie on the application, you could face some penalties, though I would be surprised if anyone wanted to prosecute, as the intent of the law is to prevent bigamy.

∙ 14y agoIf you are married in one state, you are legally married in all 50 states.
The second marriage was not necessary and could not legally have happened. You could not have gotten a marriage license the second time without lying on the application. You only need one divorce in your current state.
You may have had a second ceremony, but that doesn't change the legality of the first one.

∙ 12y agoNo. Only your first marriage would be valid. If you were married a second time without obtaining a divorce the second marriage would be of no effect. Note that when you apply for a marriage license you must declare whether you were previously married and when and where the divorce was granted.

∙ 13y agoYour second "marriage" would have no legal affect. If you wish to have a ceremony in another state for some reason you should discuss it with the person who will be performing the ceremony and you must disclose that you are already legally married. You will not be issued a second marriage license when you disclose that you are already married. The second "marriage" could only be ceremonial.

∙ 13y agoYes, you can live in one state and get married in another. You need to obtain the marriage license from the location where you are getting married.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYou can get married in different states but you can only be married to one person at a time. You can't marry again until you have obtained a legal divorce.
