The answer

The marriage is invalid if the witnessing thereof was limited to one man and one woman only. If the three contracts were concluded with the testimony of only one man and one woman, they are invalid, and the children are attributed to you. You must immediately distance yourself from the woman before a legal contract is performed with her, unless she is a chaste woman of the People of the Book. If one of the second or third contracts was complete in its pillars (with the presence of the woman's guardian, two just male witnesses, and a dowry), then you may keep your wife under your marital bond if she is a chaste woman of the People of the Book.
