If someone was to go to a place where bigamy is allowed, would they be able to marry more than 1 person and it still be legal and above board in the uk ? cos we have visitors with multiple wives, or is it just cos in the main they are minted.
 

I've been to Cyprus and there was literally wedding after wedding in the hotel we were staying in.

So unoriginal.

Go do it in Mongolia or something.

Don't think it works like that mate, The UK government also doesn't recognise same-sex marriages carried out in other countries where it is legalised. So I imagine it''s the same for polygamy.

Polygamous marriages may not be performed in the United Kingdom, and if a polygamous marriage is performed, the already-married person may be guilty of the crime of bigamy.
Polygamous marriages legally performed in another country where the law allows it are not recognized for pension, immigration or citizenship purposes.[SUP][1][/SUP] However, they may be recognized for the purposes of welfare benefits. This decision was not made without controversy, and there have been protests against it.
