Saskatchewan allows Polygamy (having more than one legal spouse at the same time). Using Section 51 of their Family Property Act to define spouse in all legislation, Saskatchewan allows multiple conjugal same-time relatioships to exist. The Immigration department claimed Ali's relationships would not be allowed in any manner, whether married, common law married or in other words, having multiple conjugal unions. Yet, this is allowed and encouraged even in Saskatchewan, which is part of Canada. Does this make legal sense to deny the same right to potential immigrants?
