Clever!  But would the (attempting) bigamist's unmarried, unknowing second 
spouse become married?  (I believe it was the case that if you thought you'd 
been married you were married; for example if an unauthorized official 
conducts the marriage, it wouldn't work to get out of it later by saying 
"sorry, that 'church official' was just my friend who owed me a favor, so 
we're not really married.")
