Bigamy
The illegal act of marrying someone while lawfully married to another. The bigamous marriage is considered void when it was entered into and may be annulled.
Definition from Nolo’s Plain-English Law Dictionary
The condition of having two spouses at the same time. A marriage in which one of the parties is already legally married is bigamous and usually therefore void. In most states, if the bigamy was intentional, it is also a crime.
