Actually, that makes him an adulterer, not a bigamist. He would have tried to legally marry her and pass it off to be a bigamist.

When that gets pointed out, someone else will point out that adultery is not a crime. If you're lucky, we'll get someone to come here and compare those of us who have a problem with adultery to the Taliban and accuse us of wanting to stone adulterers to death. They're already playing the "bot" angle, I see, so the Taliban bit is not far behind.

Should Read: He would have had to have tried to legally marry her and pass it off to be a bigamist.

798.01 Living in open adultery.--Whoever lives in an open state of adultery shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. Where either of the parties living in an open state of adultery is married, both parties so living shall be deemed to be guilty of the offense provided for in this section.

Section 798.01, Florida Statutes 2005

Obviously, rarely prosecuted.

We shouldn't start down that road. Because if we do then that brings up the little matter of what that makes the children. Now, I agree they are blameless, but the fact remains that if they are born of parents that are not married, they are something that starts with a B and ends with a D.

OTOH, if he's a bigamist, you can't legally be married twice so they are B-Ds either way, but nobody cares about such things anymore, right? We're far too "toooolerant" for that. Riiight?
