Full text
An indictment for bigamy shall be sufficient if it be in form, tenor or effect as follows (after following the form in section one):
That A ..............., on the ........ day of ........, nineteen ........, in ........ county in the state of ........., did intermarry with, in due form of law, one B ..............., and have her for his wife (or him for her husband), and afterward, while he (or she) was so lawfully married to the said B ..............., the said A ............... did feloniously and unlawfully marry and take to wife (or husband) one C ..............., on the ......... day of ........., nineteen ........, in the county of ......... in the State of West Virginia, the said B ............... being still alive, against the peace and dignity of the state.
And if the bigamous marriage took place out of the state and parties thereafter cohabit in this state, the indictment should so allege that fact.
