Thanks to Islam, welfare exploitation just got much easier in the UK. Polygamous households, reminiscent of those found in traditional Islamic regions, will now receive greater benefits under Great Britain’s new welfare program.
“Men with more than one wife will qualify for extra benefits under the new welfare system, according to official House of Commons research,” reports Daily Mail (UK). “Under the universal credit welfare system, which is not expected to be fully introduced until 2021, polygamous households will be rewarded with higher benefits, The Sunday Times reports.
This is how it will work, according to Daily Mail:
Currently, a husband and his first wife are paid up to £114.85 a week. Subsequent spouses living under the same roof receive around £40 each.
Under the new system of Universal Credit, which is not expected to be fully introduced until 2021, polygamous marriages will not be recognised at all.
The standard allowance is about £498.89 a month for couples, but single people can claim about £317.83.
That means the husband and his first wife will be able to claim the married couples’ allowance and subsequent wives will be able to claim a single person’s allowance.
Basically, it’s Leftist political porn: welfare and Islam united in an intimate embrace.
Unsurprisingly, polygamy is not popular in most British households. Aside from the residual effects of 1960s-era free-love polyamory, England, for the most part, prefers monogamy. That’s not the case, however, with the Muslim community.
British Muslims disproportionately reside in polygamous households. “There no official figures but it is estimated that there may be as many as 20,000 polygamous marriages in the British Muslim community,” explains Daily Mail.
UK authorities will only recognize the legitimacy polygamous marriages if they took place in countries that are legal. That means Zambia, Pakistan, and other mostly Muslim countries.
In effect, this new policy privileges Islam, since non-Muslims Brits have mostly shunned the practice.
“That means the husband and his first wife will be able to claim the married couples’ allowance and subsequent wives will be able to claim a single person’s allowance.”
