If you are a Muslim with multiple wives, and you travel to the U.S., will you be charged with polygamy?
What if you are also a U.S. citizen?
(I'm just curious how this works for people from Saudi Arabia, etc.)

However, only the first wife is recognised as a wife under US law.
Please note that it is not illegal to live in a polyamorous relationship in the US: only to marry in the US while still married to another person.
