Abstract

The institution of the family and marriage, understood as the relationship between a woman and a man, plays an important role in the light of contemporary social changes. The importance of the family, as well as marriage and their importance for the social order is evidenced by their increased protection under constitutional law, as well as civil law, and in particular the implementation of appropriate criminal law regulations providing for criminal liability towards persons violating the indicated values. The manifestation of the protection of marriage under substantive criminal law is evidenced by the criminalization and separation of a separate type of bigamy offense, consisting in entering into another marriage, despite the perpetrator remaining in a valid marriage. The aim of the article is to analyze the construction of the hallmarks of the act of bigamy, taking into account the particular role of marriage, as well as to answer the question about the desirability of criminalizing the analyzed crime.
