Speaking from personal experience after finding out my wife was already married in Pennsylvania and Oregon when I married her in Illinois:
- Find an attorney who knows about marriage annulments in your State. Make sure your attorney has experience dealing with annulments and not just divorces. They are not the same thing.
- First file for divorce on her as quick as you can. This will let the courts know your intent to terminate the marriage immediately and then once you do this she can not get out of it. Otherwise, she may be able to get out of it by getting divorced from the other husbands before you have time to act, and them your marriage to her will be a valid (I am assuming you want rid of her!)
- Try to obtain copie(s) of your wife's other marriage certificate(s) in the State(s)/countie(s) she was previously married in if you can. Each State is different.
- Have your attorney challenge her by "discovery" to produce divorce or annulment records from her previous marriage (s). Ball is in her court now; she either has them or she does not, and if she doesn't have them now, because you already filed for divorce, she won't be able to loophole her way out
- If she does not produce the records, have your attorney modify your divorce request to an annulment on the grounds of an "invalid marriage" because of bigamy
- Find receipts for everything you own that is yours that you want to make sure she has no claim to
- Sort out your assets and have your marriage annulled. Obtain a court reporter's transcription of the annulment hearing if you can.
- File criminal charges with the Sheriff and State's Attorney for bigamy. Make sure they are aware of the mental anguish this has caused you. Bring a court transcription from your annulment hearing as this should have all of the evidence needed for her to be arrested and charged
- File any other lawsuit you can on her for mental anguish or whatever else your attorney may suggest. Make her pay for what she did.
- Celebrate when the woman is out of your life

No. Bigamy occurs when a person who is already married knowingly marries another person without getting a divorce from their legal spouse.

Knowingly marrying a married man would not be in her best interest since her marriage would be invalid.

It depends on your perspective. They would be unmarried if the marriage wasn't valid for some unforeseen reason. If they married knowing they were already married they would be a bigamist. They would be a victim of fraud if they married a bigamist unaware that he/she was already married.
