Looming reforms to Britain’s welfare policies could be a windfall for polygamous immigrants. While the UK doesn’t allow polygamous marriages to occur in their country, they do recognize such marriages if conducted in another country. This at a time when the UK’s migrant population is surging along with the rest of Europe.
A loophole identified in a paper from the House of Commons shows that wives in polygamous marriages could claim individual benefits while the husband and his first wife can claim their respective benefits. The changes mean some polygamous households nay receive more under the UK’s universal credit system than under the present benefit and tax system.
While the loophole in these reforms has been highlighted, so far nothing has been done by the House of Commons to address it. The gap in this incoming reform is inexcusable and demands action from Parliament.

I can see how it would be. If one woman applied as a couple with x amount of children and, the rest of the women applied as single parent head of household, with x amount of children…they would all be given money for housing, utilities and food. If they all put their money together, it would really add up!!
They will get zilch
This c**p needs to be stopped. Just look at them they are so proud of what they are getting away with.
No immigrants should get welfare. American Citizens only, as needed.
DEPORT THESE PEOPLE!
They are leatches
This is hardly a picture of assimilation.
BS, needs to stop now
Jan Kenneally. It’s happening here in the US as well !
Wake the hell up.
I think they should be treated like any other person coming to our country and not get any hand outs and surely go by our laws as to 1 husband and 1 wife.
