What happens if you get married and you are already married?
Bigamy results in an invalid marriage. This happens even when the person thought they were legally divorced. In the United States, same sex marriage is legal. These marriages are not immune from bigamy. If a same-sex couple gets married but one spouse is still married to another person, the second marriage is invalid.
What is considered marital property in NJ?

Is it legal to marry your sibling in NJ?
However, New Jersey law still bars a person from marrying his or her parent or child, brother or sister, niece or nephew, or aunt or uncle. Any such marriage would be considered void.
How many times are you legally allowed to get married?
In the U.S., you can get married to one person at a time. Now so long as each marriage is dissolved (by death or divorce), there's no limitation on the number of successive marriages anyone can have. (I even know a couple people who married each other more than once, having divorced in the interim.)
