a. Marriage with a second wife or husband when already married; the crime of having two wives or husbands at once. Also in extended use.The legal status of bigamy has varied over time and between legal systems. It was first made a criminal offence in England and Wales under the 1604 Bigamy Act, and is currently defined in the United Kingdom by the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act. The 2004 Civil Partnerships Act defined a similar offence relating to same-sex civil partnerships, now often informally though not legally known as bigamy. In the United States bigamy was made a federal offence by the 1862 Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act.
