Ramzan Kadyrov wants you to get back together with your ex. That’s not a request! Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. https://tytnetwork.com/join/ “Chechnya's authoritarian leader Ramzan Kadyrov is spearheading a campaign to reunite divorced couples, involving Muslim clerics who preach Sharia law.A commission appointed by Mr Kadyrov claims to have reunited 948 couples in six weeks. He has espoused conservative Islam in the Russian Caucasus republic.But some ex-wives have complained of unfair pressure to reunite. One woman called the initiative "violent".An official said a man could have two wives if that benefited the children.Rasul Uspanov, secretary of the Chechen "headquarters for harmonising marital and family relations", said there were cases where, after divorce, the children were living with their father, who had remarried."After our commission's work, he got his first wife back, and now lives with two wives, because under Islam a man can have four wives," he said.Men under those circumstances "understand that it's better for the birth mother to live with her children, instead of watching from the sidelines and suffering", he said.But a woman called Bariyat, quoted by BBC Russian, said she had been divorced for 12 years and "if the commission approaches me I'll refuse”.”Read more here: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-...
