My dad committed bigamy – it is true. Being as it happened when I was aged 7 ish, I have got over it but still think it is a hell of a story.
I do also think it is funny, you don’t hear the word bigamy much nowadays. Is it because people have turned away from marriage? It does seem to be a tradition that has gone out of fashion.
Or perhaps couples are trying out polyamory?
Of course, there is always the problem of being found out online too. Such a vast amount of data exists about Tom, Dick and Harry! Not to mention Anne, Jane and Diane.
What is Bigamy?
The act of entering into a marriage with one person while still legally married to another. Merriam webster.
Bigamy is a criminal offence in the UK under section 57 of the Offences Against Person Act 1861. If a marriage takes place in the UK and one of the parties are already legally married to another person then they are committing bigamy, and the marriage will be considered void. KJSmith.
