Generally, it is illegal for a person to be married to more than one person at a time. Bigamy is the term used for the criminal offense of marrying one person while still legally married to another. Therefore, if you are married then any subsequent marriage would be null and void. For a subsequent marriage to be effective, your first marriage would need to be legally dissolved. On the other hand, if polyandry is legal in your particular jurisdiction, then you may marry multiple husbands. Polyandry was more common in the ancient world and has been generally outlawed in most places in the modern world. However, it is still =socially= acceptable in certain areas of India, Nepal and Tibet. Of course, polyandry, or the practice of a husband having multiple wives, is widely practiced in the Middle East.
