_Africa

"The more wives, the merrier" - the people of West Africa are convinced. Here children are perceived as an economic tool. You are deeply mistaken if you think that polygamy is a privilege of the third world countries: polygamy is also flourishing in remote regions of the American state of Utah.



_Japan

Arranged marriages in Japan are very common, especially among the rich. The Japanese family is considered to be the strongest in the world (most often the husband and wife do not have common interests, but experts say that if the bride and groom do not have high hopes for marriage, it is the basis of stability).



_Canada

The majority of Quebecers do not want to get married. Over the past 10 years, the level of those who want to marry aged 20 to 24 years has decreased by 2 times. In Quebec, the number of children whose parents live in an unregistered marriage is 50%. At the same time, the divorce rate, which peaked in the eighties, when many laws were liberalized, has significantly decreased.
