Vladimir Zhirinovsky Proposes Polygamy for Whole Russia

Moscow News reports:
Deputy speaker of the 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.

It is necessary to “allow the registration of the second and the third marriages without dissolving the first one,” the parliamentarian said. “We will surely introduce such an amendment to the family code and to the Russian Constitution during the parliament’s spring session.”
No word yet if New York city is considering polygamy to address the problem of the large reserve army of single women 35-44 years old.
