Description
Their everyday garb reveals a secret , but only to those in the know . Islamic law allows men limited polygamy . Under the Soviet law , polygamy was prohibited in Central Asia . The prohibition was debated after independence (1991) , but survived - at least officially . Polygamous marriages did in fact occur , though infrequently . Tradition dictates that each wife tie a sash around her husband’s waist before he leaves house .
