Only allow migrants to claim UK benefits for one dependant spouse & family
It is illegal for UK citizens to be married to more than one person at any one time. Therefore it's not right or fair for UK taxpayers to be funding more than one dependant wife & kids of a migrant benefit claimant, & should be stopped as soon as possible.
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:
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
It's therefore not clear what action you would like the Government to take.
