Bigamy is not a Federal crime. It’s a State one.

Exactly, BUT it assumes that any marriage in another state is valid in that state. Are you claiming I could get married in another state and come to your state and get married there, and it wouldn’t be a crime. The fact that every state has a state law that includes bigamy charges for someone who was married in another state, proves marriage is a federal issue.
