Jail for polygamist who tried to fake second wife’s passport

Article

A polygamist has been jailed for attempting to fake a passport to bring a second wife into the UK from Bangladesh.

Rois Ali, 51, applied for a passport for his second wife Isha Akhtar using his eldest child Salina Khatun’s details.

The jobless father-of-eight married his second wife three years ago in Bangladesh while he was still married to Salina’s mother Hamida Khatun.

Bolton Crown Court heard that he was trying to bring Isha, who is also his cousin, to the UK as a reward for caring for his mother and planned to set up a home for her.....

Epic fail! I guess love can make you do some silly things! I must admit that I laughed when I read about Rois Ali's shenanigans. Rois deserves his jail sentence, he wants everything but he's not prepared to work for it. Firstly he's lived in the UK for 11 years, is reliant on benefits and has never learned how to speak English. He marries his cousin in Bangladesh so she can look after his mother, then he wants to bring her over here and house her at the Taxpayers expense! He obviously knew before they got married that having a second wife in the UK is illegal and Islamically you shouldn't take another wife unless you can afford to maintain her.

These are the types of people that drag the Bangladeshi community down with such blatant disregard for laws. I feel sorry for wife number 2, no doubt she was looking forward to moving to the UK after spending time looking after Rois's mum. But Rois shouldn't be too disappointed, in prison he'll have to not pay any rent or bills, he'll get 3 meals a day served to him and he can sit around on his arse like he has been doing for the last 11 years!
