If the person was still married to the first wife when the second marriage was performed then this is a crime (not a crime committed by the Judge unless the judge KNEW the person was already married - but a crime committed by the person who is still married). The second marriage is not legal (no matter who performed it) and the person who was still married has committed the crime of polygamy.

If you married before divorce final and the second marriage is invalid can you just walk away or would you have to obtain a divorce?

This seems simple enough to me. If the second marriage was invalidated by a court then the marriage is null and void. But if the court has no notion of the invalidity of the second marriage you must file for divorce. Polygamy is actually a punishable offence, so you may want to be careful how you go about it.

If an American woman becomes a second wife in a foreign country where polygamy is legal will the marriage be recognized by the US?

I think that only the first marriage would be recognized in the United States unless the first wife had died or the couple had actually been legally divorced. * Yes. The US recognizes a marriage that is deemed legal in the country in which it was performed as being legal in the US.


In Mexico if a marriage is void because of a preexisting foreign marriage will the second marriage become valid when the impediment is removed?

No. If the marriage was invalid to begin with (because of an existing marriage at the time of the 2nd marriage). The 2nd marriage is void and legally it is as if the second marriage never happened at all. Getting a divorce for the first marriage does not validate the second marriage. Your only option is to re-do the second marriage.


Does a prenuptial agreement follow you with the second marriage to the same person?

No. A prenuptial agreement is good ONLY for the nuptials (marriage) in the agreement. Once you divorce, the nuptials (marriage) in question have come to an end. Even if you marry the same person a second time, that is considered NEW nuptials (new marriage) and would require a new prenuptial agreement. Or you could marry the person WITHOUT a prenup the second time. It is up to the participants.

If you were married and got married again would the 2nd marriage be legal?

For a second marriage to be legal, the first would have to have been dissolved via legal divorce. If the first marriage was not legally dissolved, then a second marriage would neither be legal or illegal; it would simply be redundant. Married couples often renew their wedding vows, but there is no legal connection.
