You cannot enter into a legal marriage in this country if one of the parties is already currently married.

Probably not. Indeed a bigamous marriage can cause her to be deported mail or attachments.

It sounds like she is married to you and another man.? That would be bigamy and the second marriage would be voidable. You would have to file for annulment if you were the second marriage.

If she is still married anywhere, then no your marriage is bigamous and an annulment on those grounds can be sought. nd is legally privileged.

A marriage in the US is void if the individual is already married anywhere. If she is truly legally married, then no, your marriage is not legal. I say "legally married" because in some countries people have religious marriage ceremonies that aren't recorded by the government and those marriages are not always recognized by the US.

Assuming that she was married at the time you married her, your marriage would be void. In other words, it would not be legal.

If she is legally married, your marriage would not be legal. The fact that she was already married at the time you go married would be grounds for an annulment of your marrige.
