The offense of marrying one person when already legally married to another . --

[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
It is not strictly correct to call this offense bigamy :
it more properly denominated polygamy ,
i .
e .,
having a plurality of wives or husbands at once ,
and in several statutes in the United States the offense is classed under the head of polygamy .
In the canon law bigamy was the marrying of two virgins successively ,
or one after the death of the other ,
or once marrying a widow .
This disqualified a man for orders ,
and for holding ecclesiastical offices .
Shakespeare uses the word in the latter sense .

The willful contracting of a second marriage when the contracting party knows that the first is still subsisting ;
or it is the state of a man who has two wives ,
or of a woman who has two husbands living at the same time .
When the man has more than two wives ,
or the woman more than two husbands living at the same time ,
then the party is said to have committed polygamy ,
but the name of bigamy is more frequently given to this offence in legal proceedings .
