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.

THIS IS TOTAL BS AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED PERIOD….
Britain. Wouldn’t you know it.

Polygomy is illegal to begin with so how can they get welfare
Just wrong on so many levels
Cafes and get welfare for 4 family’s????n I get 4 wi
Work or leave
What was that?
I thought polygamy was against the law??
This was done in Britian. In the article it stated that although it is not allowed to have more than one wife there, they would honor multiply wife marriages if they were married in another country. I am sure their welfare system rules are different from our own.
