"Bigamy is the only crime where two rites make a wrong"

- Bob Hope

About this Quote

This quote by Bob Hope is a funny method of saying that bigamy, or the act of being wed to two individuals at the same time, is wrong. The expression "two rites make an incorrect" is a play on words, as the word "rite" can describe both a spiritual event and a wrong action. By stating that two rites make a wrong, Hope is suggesting that even if 2 people are wed in a spiritual ceremony, it is still incorrect to be wed to 2 individuals at the very same time. This quote is a humorous method of advising individuals that bigamy is a crime and should not be ignored.
