POLYGAMY FOUGHT B CETRAL A mn Struggle Against Paying Ransom for Brides Also Started by Speciai Group. By the Associated Press. SAMARKAND, Turkestan, October 25. —A merciless struggle against polygamy and the paying of “kalim,” or ransom, for Moslem brides has been started by higher Communist authorities through- out the Kazak, Uzbek and Tadjik re- publics in Central Asia. A special so- ciety to fight these Mohammedan prac- tices has been organized. Ten years of intensive Bolshevik prop- aganda have affected the practices of Moslem rites by the native population but little, even among certain classes of government officials and communists, who in tha depth of their souls still clung to the law of the prophet. The Sar-Dariinsk Communist party organization submitted a report stat- ing that kalim and polygamy, although concealed in form, were prevalent not only among non-party members, but even among Communists, old and young. Another practice averse to Commu- nist doctrines is the trading of mar- riageable girls by their parents to the highest bidder, and the subsequent re- sale of the girls if the bid is later raised by some other person. An example was the case of a certain Desunov, once a wealthy Kirghiz peasant of the Bara- binsk Steppes. He submitted before the Moscow court this letter: “In 1920 I was married, in accord- ance with our Moslem customs and an- cient traditions, to Macki Temer- bekova, and paid for her 7 cows, 5 oxen and 10 rubles. Two months later my wife deserted me and joined her father, who sold her soon afterward to a sccond husband for 225 rubles cash. 1 was ruined and all my appeals to local uthorities to get my wife or property ck were in vain. Today I have be- ¢ome a poor farm hand, while my run- #way wife, I have learned, has been ;enent]y resold by her father to a third husband.” | Fulton, | suitable program for the reopening of Judge Sentences Man Freed by Jury, Then Begs Pardon By the Assoclated Press.
