Dear all, I am writing this petition in a bide to stop this unjust cruelty yes I am using that world cruelty here. That is set by the UK government, on those of lower income's to be with their foreign spouse. How on earth can a country that boasts human rights.Tear apart spouses based on their income? Why should those on a certain status be granted happiness in Marriage? So I ask the UK government to scrape the £18'600 rule and lower it and allow those on other benefits not just DLA to apply.
