[blindlaw] bigamy in California

[Mike Gilmore]

This question is for those of you who have knowledge regarding a California court's willingness to recognize foreign marriages.
 
Say Pete marries Donna.  He then takes Donna and Amanda to a country where polygamy is legal.  Pete marries Amanda. 
 
All three return to California.  Does a California court have discretion when choosing whether Pete and Amanda's marriage is valid, thereby making Pete's two marriages valid and Pete would not be a bigamist?  Would the court's decision change if Amanda had been kidnapped by Pete and Donna prior to going to the country where polygamy is legal?
