Wedding 17-year-old girl and 47-year-old head of the police department Nozhai-Yurt in Chechnya Nazhuda Guchigova again raised the issue of polygamy – the ceremony was preceded by a long row, during which the company tried to find out whether a police officer is married to another woman, and does not force whether to marry the young bride.
Just over two weeks ago, “Novaya Gazeta” learned about the persistent intention elderly chief Nozhai-Yurt district police department Nazhuda Guchigova to marry 17-year-old schoolgirl from the village Baytarki. This caused a great public outcry. And he Guchigov for recording allegedly he told a journalist of “Novaya” Elena Milashina that happily married and taking a second wife is not going to. However, later the head of the region, Ramzan Kadyrov declared that the intentions of the police to take a high-school girl as his wife were indeed, with the relatives of the potential bride had agreed to the marriage. Then the girl herself to the camera, made a statement that is not against marriage.
On the day of the wedding, which took place on Saturday, May 16, the bride looked incredibly depressed and unhappy. The media’s behavior explained another Chechen traditions: the girl should not show their joy during the ceremony. In addition, the reporter learned that Guchigovu 47 years (previously reported that he was 57) and officially he was not married. However, his common-law wife allegedly was also present at the event. According to the “Novaya Gazeta”, the user zamid_beno in Instagram posted photo of a young wife and a certain woman in the comments acknowledging that they are both spouses police. Later zamid_beno Photo deleted.
It is possible to say that the authorities have bypassed the scandal side, focusing on the theme of early marriages. Thus, the Commissioner for Children’s Rights Pavel Astakhov said that he considers the marriage legal. But in the history of the Ombudsman will his statement that “there are places where women in 27 years has shriveled, and by our standards it under 50″. Later, for the words of “wrinkled women,” he apologized.
The reaction of the presidential administration have been mixed. “Weddings are not engaged,” – said there.
Now the company is discussing the problem of polygamy and forced marriages.
The authorities of the Islamic Republic, a part of Russia, has repeatedly tried to legalize polygamy their regions, but so far they do not succeed. Since 2006, he spoke of the necessity of such a step and the current head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, and then prime minister of the republic. Now legalize polygamy offers Head of Administration Head of the Chechen Magomed Daudov, who spoke at the wedding as best man.
To act against polygamy decided Duma deputy Olga Alimov: it offers punished for having several wives, as well as for marriages minors. It supported the senator Elena Lyakhov, noting that Russia has a lobby that will withstand such bill. Meanwhile, the head of the profile committee of the State Duma on Family, Women and Children Elena Mizulina has opposed the imposition of liability for polygamy. This means that the chances of the bill is extremely small.
“It is not our business, not the business of the state to interfere in cultures where polygamy is accepted, – said in an interview with” Rosbalt “family psychologist Catherine Murashova. – But it is important to that it was voluntary, that the woman wanted it. If you live comfortably when one guy four aunts, and they are so good, then let them live. However, in any culture is not laid, that the opinion of the girls does not matter. In my opinion, the situation with the recent wedding of state behaved on a scale of up to a maximum idiotic idiotic. ” It is certain that at least had to be checked.
Deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, Alexander Kobrin sees no need to make polygamy legal in Chechnya. “The Constitution stipulates the equality of men and women. If polygamy is legalized, it would violate the Constitution. I think the problem in Chechnya is not related to polygamy. And in Central Asia and the Caucasus tradition avoided – recorded eldest wife, and the rest lived without problems . Criminal liability for polygamy was against marriage scams, “- said Kobrin. According to him, the problem is only in the fact that in Chechnya “is not always applicable Russian laws.”
I agree with him and the deputy of the St. Petersburg parliament Boris Vishnevsky. “If polygamy is legalized, it will not resolve any problems. It is archaic and relic of the past. Or have a secular state, where the law is the same for all, or do not understand that,” – he said.
“Once admitted in a normal, civilized , European life of religion, it is now necessary to endure a lot of nuances that are not compatible with life “- says journalist and former State Duma deputy Alexander Nevzorov.
According to him, such features include” and polygamy, and public destruction of condoms, and all that bredyatinu that imposed in sexual relationships, and church ceremonies unsanitary. ” “Of course, it is clear that Chechnya is in the privileged position. In fact there do whatever they want,” – he said.
“If a minor Chechen girl really was married under duress, it is very sad . The country is no longer a country that holds together all the common law, “- emphasizes MD, sexologist Lev Shcheglov. However, the expert adds that the story has attracted attention because of the religious and political specifics of the region, as such cases are not uncommon throughout the country: on the pretext of pregnancy in Russia constantly give married 15-16 year old girls.
The same opinion is shared by the philosopher Max Goryunov. “If we dig regional chiefs, and it is not seen. I think that if any senior official will desire any girl, no problem he will not have” – he believes. The reason is that in Russia, the principle according to which the right is the one who is strong, but not decent.
“In the history of our country there was a period when the bourgeoisie in power would change the aristocrats who live beyond morality. But in France, England and the US businessmen at some point began to demand compliance with the laws, claiming to be morally correct to act on the principle of “You live to never stumble.” We have the same kind happened: the righteous the one who went up, the one who is the king of the hill “- said the philosopher. There are medieval rules, he said.
