I would say that once the purge ends you cannot be legally married to multiple people. Meanwhile if you murder someone they’re just dead. If you kidnap someone you’d have to let them go when it ends.
Stealing is an interesting gray area. Is possessing a stolen object the crime, or is the stealing the crime? Or possibly both? If possessing a stolen object is illegal then you’d have to return them when it ends.
What if you shot someone during the purge, but they did not actually die until the next day.
I’m thinking this whole “no laws” concept would actually need hundreds of thousands of laws. Courts would be tied up for years after each purge just trying to answer the legal questions regarding having no law.

I think of it more as the law looking away from any incidents on the day, and ignoring any lasting consequences after. Makes it neater.
Skyrim would have me believe that possession of a stolen item is also a crime.
