An American woman who worships Norse gods has won the right to stay in Britain because of her “family life” with her boyfriend and his wife.

Home Office officials told Emily DiSanto, 25, that they would not grant her permission to stay in Britain because the law bans what are in effect polygamous relationships.
But now she has won an extraordinary legal case in which she was allowed to remain here on the basis of her human right to family life.
The 25-year-old now shares Alan and Anne-Marie Caulfield’s marital home in south-east London with his two children – one by each of the women.
The American’s lawyer told the court that their religious beliefs bar the Caulfields from divorcing.
