What a government rewards. . .

. . .it tends to get a lot more of. Well, Britain has just decided to reward immigrants who have multiple wives.

Husbands with multiple wives have been given the go-ahead to claim extra welfare benefits following a year-long Government review, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal. 

Even though bigamy is a crime in Britain, the decision by ministers means that polygamous marriages can now be recognised formally by the state, so long as the weddings took place in countries where the arrangement is legal.Â
