What does the bill do?
The proposal adds a section to the National Insurance Law stating that a child allowance will not be paid for a child one of whose parents is in a couple relationship or marriage with more than one party, including situations of a common-law relationship. The explanatory notes state that this proposal is intended to fight the phenomenon of polygamy in Israel by denying allowances paid by the National Insurance Institute, since most cases are not formally registered.
