The Ultimate Women’s Day Wonder on March 8
Essex-based insurer’s Immaculate Conception Insurance Policy
Women’s Day – In 2000, an Essex-based insurer named Britishinsurance.com issued a controversial policy. The plan paid out £1 million if three sisters conceived naturally. The policy targeted pregnancies that occurred unexpectedly and without prior intent. Officials described it as coverage for complex situations involving pregnancy. Religious leaders and critics questioned the policy’s morality and legality.
Such policies sparked protests from Catholic groups and broader public outcry. Supporters argued the policy reflected evolving views on family and risk. Publishers analyzed the policy’s implications for ethics and insurance practices. It highlighted how markets can touch sensitive personal matters.
The policy remains a notable example of unusual coverage in the industry. It raised questions about consent, exploitation, and the purpose of insurance. Regulators later clarified guidelines to curb exploitative products. Ultimately, the case is cited in discussions of policy ethics and consumer protection.

The biggest problem with the policy, and all policies, is that the burden of proof lies with the insured. Thus, should one of the sisters conceive in such a manner described above, it’s their duty to prove it. Otherwise, they get nothing.
The amount of £1 million was to cover the costs of raising the child. Joseph apparently did it on a carpenter’s salary. The girls were paying £100 a year for the policy. However, the public found out about it and, on Women’s Day, the policy was withdrawn in 2006.
