A 32-year-old Syrian man appeared on German media this week thanking German Chancellor Angela Merkel for allowing him to reunite with his other wife and children despite polygamy being illegal in Germany.

There is nothing new about this, as the West sinks further. Western taxpayers have been putting out money for polygamy for some time. Back in October, Jihad Watch reported about a Muslim migrant with four wives and 23 children who claimed $389,000 a year in benefits. In Britain, it was announced in January 2016 that “men with more than one wife will get extra benefits under new rules.” In Canada, according to the Ontario Family Act, women who immigrate to Canada with valid documents proving their polygamous marriages can claim spousal support and welfare benefits.

As far back as 2008, a report from Canada:

Allegedly, some Muslim males have four wives, and each wife is claiming welfare individually. Mumtaz Ali, president of the Canadian Society of Muslims, said wives in polygamous marriages are recognized as spouses under the Ontario Family Law Act, providing they were legally married under Muslim laws abroad.

German taxpayers can expect to fork out much more of their money for polygamy-related family needs, and in general, to pay for Merkel’s immigration disaster. Migration costs are already expected to be approximately 93.6 billion euros by 2020.
