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.

Why would they get this
About the dumbest thing I’ve heard recently.
This is just plain wrong. We do not allow polygamy and they certainly should not get more welfare because they are breaking the law. Why are they getting taxpayer money anyway????
One wife only. Not allowed by law.
Happening here now, many wives only on legitimate, others receive bene as single moms
Welcome to Britain that is sad they will get away with it, you need to make some change’s
Cut them off!
and our government is too stupid to fall prey to this insanity!
Deport back to their country where they will be happy!!
If this is so, Trump has just not got to it yet….he’s slicing the welfare where it needs to be slice ..
