[Avodah] Kiddushin and Bigamy

[Micha Berger]

RSZN, on Areivim, pointed us to <http://www.forward.com/articles/133568>,
a story about someone who thinks he can marry a second wife al pi halakhah
as long as there is no civil registration violating NY State law.

The names sound Sepharadi, so I'll assume these aren't descendents of
people who accepted Rabbeinu Gershom's charamim. Still, it's minhag at
this point not to remarry without a heter mei'ah rabbanim.

I was wondering if the qiddushin would even be chal. Presumably he said
"kedas Mosheh veYisrael". Isn't minhag part of "das Yisrael"?

:-)BBii!
