If an American woman becomes a second wife in a foreign country where polygamy is legal will the marriage be recognized by the US? |
[Edit] |
Answer
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.
The US recognizes a marriage that is deemed legal in the country in which it was performed as being legal in the US.
