Require spouse‑visa holders to return home when a marriage breaks down — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.
I want the UK Government to strengthen spouse‑visa rules to protect UK citizens from being deceived into marriages that are not genuine. I entered my marriage in good faith but later discovered I had been misled from the start and that the relationship was used for immigration advantage.
Many UK citizens have faced similar situations where a spouse‑visa was used for immigration advantage rather than a genuine marriage. Requiring spouse‑visa holders to return to their home country when a relationship ends would help prevent abuse, reduce fraud, and ensure that the spouse‑visa route is used fairly and sincerely. The system should protect the integrity of UK citizenship and ensure its benefits are not taken for granted.
