Yes, a married American can marry a foreign person in a country that allows polygamy, provided that they comply with the legal requirements of that country. However, this would not be recognized as a valid marriage in the United States due to its laws against polygamy. Therefore, the American would still be considered legally married to their first spouse in the U.S. and could face legal issues if they attempt to enter into a second marriage without divorcing their first spouse.

When does it actually become polygamy?

Polygamy is the act of having two or more spouses at one time. What legally counts as polygamy varies by state and by country. In some places, it simply means that you cannot be legally married to more than one person at a time. In other places, living a 'marriage-like' relationship (such as cohabiting or having sexual relationships) with two or more people, whether or not you are technically married, can get you legally convicted of polygamy.
