"Hajiaga Nuriyev, leader of Azerbaijan's Islamic Party, welcomes polygamy in Azerbaijan.
'The Laws of Sheriat and Islamic religion allow believers to have a polygamous
marriage,' he said. But MPs said this question must not be introduced for discussion to the Milli Mejlis [parliament], because it could cause an ambiguous reaction."
Reported by Turan News Service, and posted verbatim.
An ambiguous reation indeed! It is truly hard to know how public opinion would split on this issue.
