Based on two trials for bigamy involving European immigrants in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Argentina, this chapter illustrates how emotions affected transnational marital relations and how different meanings of love, and its mutations into myriad less positive feelings, shaped migration. In the context of migration and family—a site of intimacy and affection, but also one of disagreement, contest, deceit, and heartbreak—the experience of bigamists and their betrayed spouses reveal the multiple complexities of leaving one’s family and of being left behind, and shed light on the encounter of immigrants with the emotional standards of the Argentine society.
