Section 370: Bigamy

Any person who, having a husband or wife living, marries in any case in which such
marriage is void by reason of its taking place during the life of such husband or wife, is
guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for seven years.
This section of this Code does not extend to any person whose marriage with such
husband or wife has been dissolved or declared void by a court of competent
jurisdiction, nor to any person who contracts a marriage during the life of a former
husband or wife, if such husband or wife, at the time of the subsequent marriage, shall
have been absent from such person for the space of seven years, and shall not have
been heard of by such person as being alive within that time.
