How can a person get married to more than one person if its illegal?

I mean dont they keep records and you get denied for a marriage license?How can a person get married to more than one person if its illegal?
I believe they have marriage records only in the state you get married in. And depending on whatever laws for other states you get married in and what they require before you get married, I highly doubt they don't get too investigative into your past that way. So that is why it is likely to get married in different states. You can't necessarily do it in the same state as they would have a record of it in the system already. And besides that having two spouses in the same state could get kind of dicey, especially if they find out about each other.How can a person get married to more than one person if its illegal?
Murder is illegal too, yet people still commit murders.





Of course records are being kept about existing marriages, but what if a previously married person went and got married again in another country? You can't expect the registrar or celebrant to check the records of every country on earth before celebrating a wedding, can you.
You know I was just wondering that haha. I saw polygamists that live in Colorado City and I wondered how they could be polygamists if its illegal to have more than one spouse. I'm not sure if they have common law marriages or if they lie about it. I know they actually have their own community and their own pastors that know they already have a spouse but marry them. The govt cant attack a whole community because too many people involved but they are starting to charge them with child molestation because they marry their daughters off at 13-15.
I don't know where you got the idea records are not kept. A marriage license is a public record that anyone can look up as is a divorce. You may not get denied until they catch up with you or someone looks it up for themselves and reports you. Sooner or later someone will find out. It;s not that hard.
Honey, being married to one person is a headache enough, so why put yourself through a migraine with wanting more than one spouse?





Legally, no.


However some religions practice it.
