In 2020, Utah lowered the penalty for voluntary polygamy from a felony to an infraction, making it a lower-level offense.

A legacy probably from all those rampant Christian Mormons...
Utah? Help me Rhonda

I try. You could have done it but you rather drag it on.

From the same article:

'“Universal Credit does not recognise polygamous households in the benefit system. Any adults living in the household would each have to claim as a single person on the basis of their own circumstances.

Benefits such as Income Support, Jobseeker's Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance and Housing Benefit do recognise a small number of polygamous marriages which took place in a jurisdiction where polygamy is permitted.

“This number is very small and declining, since the Immigration Act 1988, it has not been possible for people polygamously married overseas to bring second wives to the UK through the spouse visa route.”

The DWP said in a statement: "There are rules in place to ensure there is no financial benefit for claiming from a polygamous household. Only marriages that took place in a country where the practise is legal are recognised. As a result, very few, if any, households claim this way."

In the U.S cousin marriage laws vary by state, with roughly half allowing first-cousin marriages.

How embarrassing for you...

Yes, the marriage (to their 3 or 4 cousins( has to have occured in Pakistan, no such marriages are recognized if performed in UK.
Doesn't change a thing that I said. And they do give each of the wives ( cousins of the husband) the benefits.

Lord, you weird libs have us writing about marrying 14 year old cousins, tranees lgbutqs, girly men, aborting babies, boys in bathrooms and competing with girls,socialism.... what in the WORLD deviant practices will you next bring to the fore. Making us pay a college grad's tution loan?? Wouldn't be surprised.

They receive more pension credit etc (if qualifying) as separate individuals than they would as polygamous wives. Why would anybody make such a claim and lose benefits?

Answer that Sherlock.

Calling me a lib when I'm a conservative is also a tad tedious.

Only in your own head. Back in reality you have been thoroughly debunked.
