Definition
Of, relating to, or characteristic of bigamists or bigamy.
Etymology
Formed from 'bigamist' plus the suffix '-ic', making it an adjective. This is a formal legal or academic term.
Kelly Says
You'll find 'bigamistic' mostly in legal documents and academic papers discussing marriage law—it's the kind of word judges and law professors use to sound precisely technical.

Ethical Language Guidance
Gender History
Legal and moral condemnation of bigamy applied unevenly by gender; women faced harsher social penalties and had fewer legal protections in plural marriage situations than men in most historical contexts.
Inclusive Usage
Use descriptively; when discussing historical cases, note gender disparities in legal treatment.
