If however they shares the benefits between say it were 3 families in common still would break the rules but might not be so objectionable if they were giving food to people who need it.

Same in some immigrant communities in the UK - your local teachers or religious leaders and the like will just report things back to your father. This is the trouble when you have insular closed off groups within a nation.
