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.

Well the UK can start taking money from the Queen to pay for this c**p!
Not in America.
How do these people get on welfare. Don’t people know when they process their applications that polygamy is not recognized here?
This is very wrong!
Since polygamy is against the laws here, only one wife should be considered, however, they can all still claim to be single mothers with children and get benefits – or if Muslims, would that get them killed??
Calling President Trump! Another example of welfare fraud.
