Was that 1-year thing in force back in 1961? I hadn’t heard that at all. And, according to 0bambi’s own book, he has no record of them marrying, however, they did get divorced. That tells me they may not have gotten married in the U.S. And yes, Sr. was a bigamist.

Only if the marriage were in the US. If it was in Kenya, even as a colony, he'd be a legal polygamist.

There is another hitch to that argument under a law later passed that is relevant because Ann was domiciled in the US.

Married in a country that allowed polygamy but one party domiciled in a country that did not allow polygamy - marriage void if before 1971
