What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida.
A man gets married in the state of Florida, and a year later his wife packs her things and leaves. Nine years pass and not a word is ever heard from the wife, she could be deceased for all the man knows, even though he he has no evidence indicating one way or the other.
The man then marries a woman from Venezuela, the marriage taking place in Venezuela.
Is this bigamy, and if it is, could the man be charged with bigamy in the U.S. even though the bigamous marriage took place off American soil and in Venezuela?
