Linda Gould, 37, married Robert Gould in November 1994, five months before divorcing her first husband Mark Cooper. The Scottish mother-of-two admitted bigamy after her husband, who was divorcing her, discovered she was already married when they wed.
Even though Linda Gould admitted her crime, she insisted that Mr Gould knew the facts and that the overlap was an "innocent mistake". Mr Gould, 36, on the other hand, claimed that he felt "so betrayed" as he had only discovered the error last month when he began proceedings for divorce after 14 years of marriage.
Ms Gould said: "The police were very understanding. What happened was that we planned to marry and were expecting the divorce papers to come through."
A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Police said a prosecution was not in the public interest.
