Does cheating in marriage and having illegitimate children constitute bigamy?

1. Does cheating in marriage and having an illegitimate child constitute bigamy? (1) The crime of bigamy refers to the act of marrying someone knowing that they have a spouse. The so-called spouse means that the man has a wife and the woman has a husband. This relationship between husband and wife still exists without legal procedures, that is, the spouse. 1 February 9941After the implementation of the Regulations on the Administration of Marriage Registration of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, all de facto marriages will be recognized as illegal cohabitation, and there is no problem of "bigamy". Accordingly, China denied "de facto marriage" in the field of civil law. However, China's criminal investigation system still recognizes "de facto marriage". "the Supreme People's Court's provisions on whether cases of illegal cohabitation in the name of husband and wife are convicted and punished for bigamy after implementation:" If a spouse cohabites with others in the name of husband and wife, or knowingly cohabites with others in the name of husband and wife, he should still be convicted and punished for bigamy. "At this point, the theoretical circle is controversial, but in view of the fact that bigamy is a crime that violates citizens' personal rights and democratic rights in criminal law, it seems that there is nothing wrong with extending the scope of application of bigamy to de facto marriage. According to the experience of judicial practice, bigamy mainly has the following types:

1, marriage registered by a spouse, marriage registered with others and bigamy, that is, bigamy of two legal marriages. People with spouses register marriage with others, bigamists cheat the marriage registry to get a marriage certificate, and bigamists collude with the registry staff to get a marriage certificate. 2, registered marriage with the original spouse, not registered with others to live together as husband and wife, this is the type of de facto marriage after legal marriage. 3, no spouse, but knowing that the other party has a spouse and remarried to register marriage or cohabitation as husband and wife. To sum up, cheating in marriage and having illegitimate children are not important elements of bigamy. Whether to commit bigamy depends on whether Sharla Cheung's husband and San Xiao live together in the name of husband and wife in daily life. If so, Song Cheng constitutes bigamy; Otherwise, it does not constitute bigamy.
