Polygamy has been allowed in Russia, and criminal cases in Uzbekistan
Polygamy was allowed in Russia, thanks to the decision of the Muslim Spiritual Board, which allowed for up to 4 marriages. In Uzbekistan, the situation is the opposite: criminal cases are being initiated for promoting polygamy.
In Russia, a decision was made allowing polygamy. The spiritual administration of Muslims in the country has opened the possibility of concluding up to 4 marriages. This decision came as a surprise, which aroused interest and discussion among religious and public figures.
The situation in Uzbekistan contrasts with this, where, on the contrary, criminal cases have been initiated in recent years for promoting polygamy. This move by the authorities was part of an effort to limit practices that are not supported by official religious or social norms.
Thus, the situation in the two countries has become a vivid example of differences in approaches to polygamy in the post-Soviet space.
