Summary by nieuwrechts.nl
The Netherlands does not recognize polygamy. That sounds clear. But anyone who looks through the administrative fog for a moment sees that the reality in The Hague is often just a little more flexible than the text in the brochure. Data provided by the SVB to NieuwRechts shows that in 2025, the Netherlands paid out over 45,000 euros in two cases where two widows of the same man shared the survivor's benefit.
