Usually it would be the involved party that feels wronged, however anyone else can report it. Such matters are reported to local law enforcement, or the District Attorney.

If they feel it has merit, they then make the case. However, there is a difference between bigamies, thus the woman who marries another man believing her first husband to have been killed in Afghanistan is not going to be arrested, even if it turns out the first husband is alive!

The law is more for those who are doing it deliberately, like old-style Mormons or the "travelling salesman" with a wife in two or more states!
