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.)

    Note that someone who intends to practice polygamy in the US cannot immigrate to the US, as they are inadmissible under INA 212(a)(10)(A). However, nonimmigrant travel is fine.

No

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.
