Petition Make polygamy in the UK illegal for all unions whatever the status of the person officiating the union.

More details

There are polygamous unions taking place in the UK where men are taking up to 4 wives and then these "wives" are allowed to have separate housing and claim benefits as single mothers. I want this made illegal. These marriages are sham and draining the taxpayer.
