bigamy

The Chinese term '重婚' refers to the act of marrying someone while already being legally married to another person. It is considered illegal in many jurisdictions and often carries social stigma. In Chinese culture, marriage is typically seen as a serious commitment, and practices such as bigamy are frowned upon. The concept of 重婚 can also be discussed in terms of legal implications and cultural attitudes towards marriage fidelity.
