Polygamy is illegal in this country so how can they claim benefits for more than one wife? Plus it is further proof that they are being given 'preferential treatment' when it comes to benefits, whilst we English are scrutinised and held to the law for every penny and denied are disability entitlement that we have paid into all our lives. Its wrong, fundamentally wrong.

The migrant, known only as Ghazia A, fled Syria last year along with his family. He has since resettled in Germany with his four wives and 22 of his children. One of his daughters has since moved to Saudi Arabia where she has married.
Germany does not legally recognise polygamy, meaning that Ghazia A was forced to choose a “main wife” so the rest of the family could claim benefits. The other three wives are categorised as “friends” of the Syrian migrant.
But a local official in the town of Montabaur described the situation as an “exemption”. Ghazia A now lives with his “main” wife Twasif and their five children in Montabaur, in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate – while the other three wives and children have been moved into neighbouring communities up to 31 miles away.
