Closed petition Stop Benefits Paid To Polygamous Muslims
Closed on
Muslim men are allowed to have up to four wives although this is illegal in Britain they are still able to claim benefits for these additional spouses,
Polygamy is not something which British law allows and therefore British taxpayers should not have to pay for extra benefits for second, third or even fourth wives.
