Hello dear members sorry if I couldn’t type this question in a new thread as I don’t know how to start a new thread.
Anyways question is...what if someone doesn’t declare his polygamous marriage in citizenship application as there is no question about it,it just asks about any previous marriage.(polygamous marriage is present marriage not previous one).
In application form there’s no question about polygamous marriage.
Will this creat any problems in future if he put NO ?Like a deception in citizenship application ?

Thanks

Polygamous marriage is when you are married to more than one person at the same time, ie you have 2 it 3 CURRENT wives.

Thanks for your quick reply but answer to my question is still incomplete.
I know what polygamy marriage is but how someone can declare it in citizenship application if there is no section about polygamy marriage is ?

Provided the polygamous marriages were not conducted in the UK and provided that they did not lie on any previous spousal visa application, I believe the applicant should be fine.

Be aware that he will not be able to sponsor another wife to the UK even after becoming a British citizen.
