A quick definition of de bigamis:

De Bigamis: A law from a long time ago that was about men who got married twice. It was named after the first words of the fifth chapter of the 4 Edw. st. 3 statute. A bigamus is someone who commits bigamy, which means they get married to two people at the same time. It can also mean a man who marries a widow or gets married again. If someone was a bigamus, they could be punished under church law.

A more thorough explanation:

De bigamis is a Latin term that means "concerning men twice married." It refers to the statute of 4 Edw. st. 3, which is named after the opening words of the fifth chapter. A bigamus is a person who commits bigamy, which is the act of marrying someone while still being legally married to someone else. In historical context, bigamus also referred to a man who married a widow or remarried. Under ecclesiastical law, a bigamus could be denied benefit of clergy.

Example 1: John married Mary, but he never got a divorce from his first wife. Later, he married Jane without telling her about his first marriage. John is a bigamist.

Example 2: After his first wife died, Henry married a widow named Anne. Henry is a bigamus according to historical usage of the term.

These examples illustrate the definition of bigamus as someone who commits bigamy or marries a widow/remarries. In both cases, the individuals were married to more than one person at the same time, which is illegal and considered a form of fraud. The term bigamus is not commonly used today, but it has historical significance in the context of marriage and the law.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
