Russian Parliament says WHAT?
MosNews -
Deputy speaker of theThis is definitely one of the craziest things I have seen out of the Russian government yet! I eludes me how such stordon'tdont make it into US or World news. I'll have to do more research in Russian Orthodox beliefs, but I would think that this would clash with their belief system.State Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament, has called the idea to introduce polygamy in Chechnya "absolutely right" and proposed to spread it for the whole Russia.
"We must welcome (this idea) and spread (polygamy) for the whole Russia because we have 10 million lonely women," Vladimir Zhirinovsky was quoted by ITAR-TASS news agency as saying.
The Chechen Prime Minister, RamzanKadyrov, has also called for polygamy to solve their problem in their time of war stating,
"it is necessary because we are at war and according to statistics there are 9 percent fewer men than women in the republic. It is very important for the Chechen people. The law of Shariah allows this, it does not run counter to it. Therefore, each man who can provide for four wives should do it. It should be allowed."Read the full story here...

Four times the nagging, just think of it!
Hey, if all 5 parties are in agreement, and they all get along...why not? Surely you'd get fewer "not tonight, I have a headache" excuses!
In the purist sense of the word, it means a woman could have more than one husband as well. Think 'communal living'. It works for some people (admittedly, not most).
It's an interesting thought, the government proposing it. I wonder if it will actually happen, and if it will be successful. Definitely one to keep an eye on out of curiosity, if nothing else!
Post. More.
