Pennsylvania law allows a person to remarry during the lifetime of a spouse if they believed the spouse was dead or their marriage was annulled or divorced, provided they live together in good faith afterward. Remarrying based on false rumors of death is voidable and subject to annulment. If the remarriage was in good faith, neither party faces criminal charges for bigamy.
