Qatari advocacy for polygamy

"Local Arabic daily Al Raya quoted Ahmed Hassan Al Malki as saying Qatari men should be encouraged by the government to marry more than once. He said it will have twin benefits — the problem of many women not finding suitable grooms and remaining unmarried would be solved, and Qatari population would increase.  The government should encourage polygamy by holding seminars and campaigns to raise awareness, he said. The debate was organised in his majlis."
