In the next place we must consider bigamy and the irregularity contracted thereby.

Under this head there are five points of inquiry.

(1) Whether irregularity attaches to the bigamy that consists in having two successive wives?

(2) Whether irregularity is contracted by one who has two wives at once, one according to law, the other in fact?

(3) Whether irregularity is contracted by marrying one who is not a virgin?

(4) Whether bigamy is removed by baptism?

(5) Whether a dispensation can be granted to a bigamous person?
