Of course not. In order to get married in California, they would have to lie on their marriage license application which will invalidate the license and make the marriage illegal.

It does not matter where a marriage happens. If a person goes though a marriage ceremony with someone when they are already legally married to someone else, then the second marriage ceremony is not legally valid and you are not married. The person who is already married is also committing a crime. So the answer is - No you are not married. You should also be aware that his first wife is his legal heir at law if he should die and leave any estate. You have no rights in that regard and you have no husband.
