Could you be arrested for bigamy?

Answer 1

You would start your suit in whatever court has jurisdiction, probably where you both live. Or where you live, if you are apart.

However, has the other been arrested, charged and convicted of bigamy? For it is a crime. If they have not, you are unlikely to win a civil judgment against them.

Consult with an attorney on this one. Such things involving marriage can be very complicated. The more so if there is more than two people involved.

Answer 2

Yes.

Bigamy is against the law.

It is against the law in most countries for either moral or religious reasons.

For example, it is believed to be immoral, abnormal and not human nature to be in more than one relationship at the same time.

In religious or previously religious countries, bigamy is illegal because their religions believe there should only be two people involved in a marriage.

To take it to the extremes, in some under-developed or developing Middle-Eastern countries, the penalty of bigamy is to be stoned to death.

Answer 3

Yes. You can sue for any damages he caused by duping you into marrying him. If he was already married when he married you then he is not your husband and you are not married. You should contact the authorities and inquire about pressing criminal charges.

Answer 4

so far, but that may change when it becomes legal to address the rights of bisexuals to marry both lovers.

Answer 5

With these knees?
