He can "marry" as many as he wants. That is not a crime. But only the first marriage will have legal cognizance. The subsequent marriages are a legal nullity, but not a crime.

I'm talking about marry--not "marry."

A good woman would only giver herself to a man who is legally obligated.

Tory, 50 states have statutes against bigamy. In most of them it is a felony.

Multiple girl friends you can generally get away with, multiple licensed marriages are another game altogether.

Wrong... they are both a legal nullity AND a crime in all 50 states.
