Stop foreign men using marriage to live in the UK.
Visa constraints of time and work are avoided by marriage. England is overcrowded and the UK has more young men than young women. Replacing the spouse visa with a wife's visa is for the common good. There is nothing to prevent couples in a transnational marriage from living in the husband's country.
James Callaghan, before becoming Prime Minister, closed this loophole in 1969. The next Labour Home Secretary, Roy Jenkins, repealed the law in 1975. The Conservatives promised to end this concession in their 1979 election manifesto, but did not keep their promise.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure what specific action you would like the Government or Parliament to take. If you would like a specific change to immigration law, you could start a new petition calling clearly for the change you would like Parliament to make.
