Bigamy.

If a person gets married in the United Kingdom and is already legally married, the marriage will be bigamous and therefore is void. Although it is a criminal offence to marry someone when you are already married, prosecution is not automatic.

If you think you may be about to enter a bigamous marriage you should seek advice from a specialist solicitor on this site.
