Concurrent polygamy
<p>Polygamy, as explained by dictionaries, means "married to more than one person <em>at the same time</em>".</p>

<p>In nations where polygamy is deemed illegal, laws often include terms preventing a person from running multiple marriages in parallel. However, there is a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1050222/what-is-the-difference-between-concurrency-and-parallelism">difference</a> between parallelism and concurrency. And I'm wondering if people can legally run multiple marriages concurrently in these nations.</p>

<p>For example, can someone have 7 spouses named Sunday, Monday, ..., Saturday and rotate (divorce and remarry) at midnight each day? Is this violating any laws governing monogamous relationships?</p>

<p>(Clearly this once-per-day example is contrived and only meant to explore a technical possibility.)</p>

<h2>Yes ...</h2>

<p>... apart from the impracticality of it. Basically, the bureaucratic process of marriage and divorce doesn't fit within a 24-hour cycle. For example, in <a href="/questions/tagged/australia" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;australia&#39;" rel="tag">australia</a> it is a requirement to notify the state one month before you intend to marry and divorce is a legal process that takes as long as it takes - typically years. But, assuming those obstacles did not exist, your scheme would not fall foul of the law. </p>

<p>In general, you can remarry a person you previously divorced. <a href="/questions/tagged/kentucky" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;kentucky&#39;" rel="tag">kentucky</a> [apparently]<a href="https://www.womansday.com/relationships/dating-marriage/advice/a1846/10-obscure-marriage-laws-in-the-us-110196/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">1</a> says enough is enough after the third time.</p>

<p>Unless adultery is illegal (as it is in much of the Muslim world) there is no law against <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamory" rel="nofollow noreferrer">polyamory</a> so long as no one person in the relationship is married to more than one other person.</p>

<p>Your headline of "Concurrent Polygamy" is wrong - what you describe is "Consecutive Monogamy".</p>
