Not technically. While it is unlikely that anyone has ever had the police show up for doing so, it is technically fraud. If you are married and live in a community property state, your spouse has rights to property obtained in the course of the marriage. The spouse may give up this right. A married male holding title alone would record as " John Doe, a married man, as his sole and separate property". If it came down to a lawsuit, the courts would see that the marriage predated the property vesting and the spouse would likely be able to claim an interest.
