Parliament Wants to Stop Child Allowances in Cases of Polygamy


A majority in parliament is supporting a proposal of the Liberal Party to cancel payment of child allowances to polygamous parents. Polygamy is illegal in the Netherlands but various municipalities register additional marriages of people who are already married. It is unknown how many such marriages are registered in all the Netherlands but in Amsterdam the most recent figure is 173.www.trouw.nl/nieuws/nederland/article1904199.ece/Kamer_wil_kinderbijslag_stopzetten_bij_polygamie.html
