Rejected petition Stop benefits to families who have more than one wife living in the UK.
People are living in this country and receiving benefits for more than one wife. the Government is cutting benefits to everyone but it seems not to these people. why should the tax payer of the UK pay for anyone to have more than one wife when it is illegal for British men to have more than one wife

If people require more than one wife they should pay them selves for the privilege. it makes a fool of our state fund. We have disabled and pensioners all having cuts and ex service men living in streets it makes no sense that this has not be addressed. STOP THE FUNDING
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
A Government response to a previous petition on this subject explained:
"Polygamous marriages which take place abroad may be recognised but will make a household no better off under the benefit system."

It is not therefore clear what additional action you would like the Government to take.
