You can find the countries where polygamy is legal in the link below. However, you must relocate. If you are not from that country and just go there to get married it will not be legal if you return to a country where plural marriage is illegal.
In Western cultures you can only be married to one person at a time. The single exception if Saskatchewan.

If your husband is a bigamist are you a bigamist also?
No. Bigamy occurs when a person who is already married knowingly marries another person without getting a divorce from their legal spouse. It is unlawful in every jurisdiction.The wife of a bigamist is not also a bigamist since she did not knowingly marry a married man. Knowingly marrying a married man would not be in her best interest since her marriage would be invalid.
Can you get remarried in one state while married to another person in another state if divorce papers are about to be signed by the judge?
Absolutely not. You would still be married to your first spouse and your remarriage would be invalid. You cannot be legally remarried while you are still married to your spouse. Papers "about to be signed" are not signed and carry no legal significance whatsoever. You are not divorced until the judge signs the decree and it is entered into the record.
