1000 men living legally with multiple wives despite fears over exploitation
Polygamous marriage is flourishing as the Government admits for the first time that nearly a thousand men are living legally with multiple wives in Britain.
Although the families are entitled to claim social security for each wife, no one has counted how many of them are on benefits.
Ministers appear to be ignoring the separate practice of unauthorised polygamy, which is said to have become commonplace in some Muslim communities. The Ministry of Justice admits that it has no estimates of numbers for these unions, which are often presided over by an Islamic cleric.

wow, one thousand out of sixty million we must really be a decadent hell hole. multiple partners eh, like wive and concubines that the patriarch of the bible had. did you know that monogamy was a pagan greek and roman practice. they thought multiple wives like the jews and the early christians had was barbaric.

1000 cases in a country of 60,500,000 people.
or 1 in 60,500 or 0.0016 % or 0.016 per 1000
That is a rate which is 2.5 times lower than murderers in the US.
This could mean the end of civilization as we know it.

These people are using old and out of date religious rules to overturn conventional rules made by the people for the people.
They are also ignoring what Jesus had advised them not to do.
