How do Bigamy laws usually work?

Answer 1

it is a criminal offence, so the law can pursue them without assistance

Answer 2

Yes usually the state can pursue even without the help of the victims but as a rule I would say that they wouldn't unless its election time or they are trying to take a tough on crime stance.

Answer 3

Either can file a complaint.

Usually, the law is not unforced unless some media busybody makes a stink, though.
