Not really. Bigamist is an individual who marries another individual while still legally married to someone else..........a criminal act and thus a legal term. Polygamy is the practice of having more than one spouse at one time........it is not a legal term.

Hi, Dennis
Just a point on wording - a polygamist is a person with three or more spouses at the same time. With *only* two spouses, the word is bigamist.
Cheers,
