Editing Polygyny (section)

====Tajikistan====
Due to an increase in the number of polygamous marriages, proposals were made in [[Tajikistan]] to re-legalize polygamy.<ref>[http://www.eurasianet.org/departments/culture/articles/eav102002.shtml "Central Asia: Increase In Polygamy Attributed To Economic Hardship, Return To Tradition"], EurasiaNet.org</ref> Tajik women who want to be second wives particularly support decriminalizing polygyny. Mukhiddin Kabiri, the Deputy Chairman of the [[Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan]], says that legislation is unlikely to stop the growth in polygyny. He criticizes the ruling élite for speaking out against the practice while taking more than one wife themselves.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://iwpr.net/?p=rca&s=f&o=162938&apc_state=henirca2002|title=Institute for War and Peace Reporting|work=iwpr.net|access-date=10 December 2016}}</ref>
