This varies from state to state. You should call an adoption agency or adoption attorney in the state where the child resides.
Your marriage is not valid. If the person intentionally married you without divorcing their spouse they have committed bigamy.
Honesty is always the best policy. If you try to hide the fact you are already married the lies will eventually catch up to you and you will have to sign the wedding registry at the church. Your husband and yourself should meet with both sets of parents and tell them the truth. The parents may be hurt that you both have kept it a secret because most parents want to see their son and daughter married. Once the shock is over then suggest that you have another wedding for their sake and see if they will agree to it. If not, at least the secret is out and you and your husband do not have to keep hiding the fact you are married. If you are 18 years of age you are no longer minors and can marry without the parents permission.
They wouldn't have to ... being as they are already Mr. and Mrs. Smith, they are already married.
Was it "Not without my daughter"?
Is your wife the mother of your daughter? If not, the two are not related and could get married. If she is the mother of your daughter, or has adopted her, she would be considered a first cousin. In many places, they could get married without any problem, but check your local laws as some places do not allow first cousins to marry.
Previous Answer: Have they discovered the first wife's body yet? You have read the question wrong, I meant that can two people get secretly married, away from friends and family, and then do it again a few years later, without any of your friends and family knowing that the two of you are already married to each other!
You can say anything you like and people do, but technically you are still living common-law.

The story says he fathered a daughter before he married, but in the days without DNA, who knows for sure?
The only way they would know you were already married is if you tell them, don't you think you should just have the official wedding and save yourself the trouble of trying to keep a big secret, cause people's feelings usually get hurt if they find out you already got married and they were not there to see you? But if you already got married and now you are trying to keep this secret, good luck to you.
