How can you legally be a bigamist? I mean you can legally marry one wife. If you try to get a marriage license for another, won't something come up in the "system"?

Not always. Let's say you marry your 1st wife in Lake County, Indiana. You then marry a 2nd "wife" in Marion County. The computer systems in the state aren't necessary linked, so there's no guarantee that something will "come up." Now, if the dude gets found out and reported to police, the prosecutor can bring charges for bigamy, which--in Indiana--is a class D felony that carries a 3-year max.

Why bother doing it legally, then? Why bother with marriage at all? Just get your harem....

There is no benefit legally in having more than one "legal" wife is what I am saying...
