Make it illegal to have more than one wife if you live in the UK.
Immigrants are settling in the UK and bringing their wives and children with them, this could be 2,3,or more wives per husband and 4,8,12 children and having more children in the UK, they are all claiming benefits and putting a strain on our resources. This is bigamy and should be stopped.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Bigamy is already illegal in the UK.In response to a previous petition, the Government has said:
"Polygamous marriages which take place abroad may be recognised but will make a household no better off under the benefit system."
You can read the full response here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/108431
You could start a new petition calling on the Government to change its policy and no longer recognise polygamous marriages.
