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.

We do pay them…only the first wife is noted as souse but the others get separate funds..someone with a wife and 3 relatives plus say 10 children can receive 300k a year..this includes food stamp and housing.
Britain, you are losing your country. Very, very sad.
When did polygamy become legal?
Why are these people getting welfare ? Send them back to goat country – chit – save welfare for Americans who need it
This so wrong why can’t they get off their lazy butts???
F**k you goat fuckers
sorry pos shouldn’t get a penny.
We should make sure this never happens in this country. Polygamy is illegal in the U.S. and we should not pay for a man having several wives. Such a man should not be given entrance into the United States. Howevwe, I am afraid our country is allowing this right now. They are opening Pandora ‘ s Box. The same thing as allowing honor killings and Felale Genital Mutilation.
No!! This is illegal in this country!! Enforce our laws!!
This story is about people in the UK, not the US.
