Subject: Bigamy in the 1920s
Hi Everyone,
Does anyway out there know anything about bigamy and dual family
fathering (i.e. of men maintaining two separate families at the same
time) in the 1920s?
Given the loss of life in the First World War (700,000 men dead) and the
large numbers injured there was a distinct shortage of men to go around.
This leads me to speculate that a large number of men, may have been
running two households at the same time either with or without the
knowledge of one or both 'spouses'.
I did once hear that bigamy reached a peak in the 1920s and if this is
so, it seems reasonable to speculate that the official figures were only
the tip of a much large iceberg.
