Invalid Marriage
State laws vary on the subject of bigamous marriages, but a bigamous marriage is not a valid one – even if both parties entered into the marriage in good faith and believe that a previous marriage was successfully dissolved. A court ruling to annul the marriage is generally not necessary because the marriage is legally invalid from its inception.
