To take down the website for coming second wives

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

A dating website has been created for men to find multiple wives. I want people to sign this petition to have it taken down and for future websites to be a criminal offence. It is illeage for men and women in England to have a second spouse. This website should be shut down with immediate effect!
The website has over 10,000 members already.
The man behind the website condones men to have multiple wives, but no women are allowed to access the site.
It is illegal to have more than one wife.
This is not our culture.
We need to stop this before having more than one wife becomes the norm.
What would you do if your husband was searing for a second wife or relationship?
It is morally wrong.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The Government doesn't have the power to shut down websites in this way.
